AMARYLLIS. 
THE ROYAL LILIES. 
VEITCHII SEEDLINGS. The remark- 
able hybrids produced from seed by celebrated 
English specialists will add to the fame and 
popularity of the amaryllis. The flower size 
has been increased to a foot in diameter, and the 
colors have been so improved and varied as to | 
be almost beyond belief. In them we find tints 
of white, pink, rose, orange, Scarlet, crimson | 
and maroon. Some are flaked, mottled or 
striped, and some are of solid colors. In a 
thousand plants a thousand different flowers 
may be found, and a dozen bulbs selected at 
randoin will insure a wide variety of color. 
30 cents each; 2 for 5V cents.

How to Succeed with Bulbs. 
There is probably no man in America more competent to tell of success with 
summer flowering bulbs and roots than Prof. W. F. Massey, the noted horticulturist. 
Prof. Massey has written an essay for me entitled, ‘How to Grow Bulbs for Best 
Results,” in which he tells just exactly what to do and how to do it.

BUTTERFLY ORCHID. 
The butterfly orchid is an interest- 
ing subject for house culture. It 
is an. air plant, growing in a little 
moss, without soil or pot, and hav- 
ing no roots of the ordinary sort. It 
demands good light, but not exces- 
Sive or prolonged sunshine, and will 
do well in an ordinary window. The 
moss must be kept wet, or at least 
watered frequently, and the leaves 
of the plant kept free from dust. 
The odd flowers are delicate and 
butterfly-like, and are gracefully 
borne, as Shown in the illustration. 
The blossoms are pink and green, 
changing with age to yellow and 
chocolate. Strong blooming size, 
20 cts. each; 8 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00.

ACHIMENES. 
Excellent bulbs for pot culture, 
requiring somewhat the same 
treatment as begonias or gloxinias. 
Of tropical origin; 12 to 15 inches 
high. It is well to avoid putting 
water on the foliage. The colors 
of achimenes include white, red, 
heliotrope, ete., and the flowers are 
variously marked. The leaves are 
quite ornamental; in some cases as 
handsome as coleus. Bulbs should 
be putted as soonas received by pur- 
chaser. The plants are not hard to 
raise, require little care, and are 
profuse bloomers. They require 
heat when growing, but not when 
in bloom. They will grow nicely 
in partial shade. A good soil can 
be prepared for achimenes by 
mixing peat or leaf mold with 
sand. The brightness and profu- 
sion of bloom well repays all trou- 
ble involved. Achimenes are 
classed as greenhouse perennials, 
and must be treated accordingly. 
Mixed colors, per bulb, 15c.; 2 for 25c.
