AUTTE Anni A DREER DHITADELDHTA PA 
AMARWYLLIS (Hippeastrum). 
The Amaryllis is pre-eminently a window-garden plant for the 
amateur, producing under the simplest conditions one, two or 
even three spikes, two feet or more high, which are crowned 
with from three to six large and gorgeous trumpet-shaped 
blooms which last long in good condition. 
As a rule Amaryllis are supplied during the winter and early 
spring in the form of dormant bulbs. They should be potted as 
soon as received in pots of a size about one inch larger in 
diameter than the diameter of the bulbs. Plant the bulbs so 
that only the thick part of the bulb is covered with soil; the 
long neck must be fully exposed. Any good garden soil will 
grow them, but preferably use two parts of good, fibrous loam 
to one part of well-decomposed cow-manure, and add if the soil 
is clayey sufficient sharp sand to make it loose and friable. 
Water sparingly until active growth begins, but after the plants 
are in full leaf they must be very liberally supplied with water, 
taking care at all times to provide ample drainage. 
In the summer the plants will be benefited by plunging 
the pots in the open border where they will be exposed to 
full sunshine. In the autumn, after they become checked by 
frest, store them dry in the pots in which they have been 
grewing in a cellar or other place in which patatoes or dah- 
lias woald keep in good condition. They should be looked 
over otcastonally, and any showing signs of new life must at once 
be breught to the light. If they are stored in the pots in which 
they have grown the previous season, no repotting is necessary at 
this stage, though an occasional watering with liquid cow ma- 
nure or eur Peerless plant food will help to increase the beauty 
and size of the flowers.
