AMARYLLIS. 



FORMOSISSIMA. 



The most magnificent family of bulbous plants adapted to bouse 

 culture. Their enormous and brilliant flowers are produced in re- 

 markable profusion and under the simplest conditions. The bulbs 

 should be potted in a light soil consisting of a mixture of leaf mold, 

 old manure and sand, the pots used being not more than twice the 

 diameter of the bulbs. When in full growth and near the blooming 

 period they require plenty of heat and moisture. After blooming 

 the water may be gradually withheld until the leaves die down, 

 when they should be placed in a dry, cool place. Avoid disturbing 

 the roots and do not repot of tener than once in two years. 



Belladonna. Quite hardy with protection. Blooms beautifully in 

 the autumn, bearing large umbels of very sweet scented, rose colored and purplish 

 W flowers. A splendid plant that deserves to be better known. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c. 



Formosissima (Jacobean Lily). A quick and ready bloomer, often producing its 

 intensely brilliant trusses of bloom before the leaves appear. The color of the oddly-formed 

 flowers is considered the richest shade of crimson known among flowers. Very useful for 

 forcing. Ea., 15c; 3 for 40c; doz., $1.50. 

 Johnsonii. Well known and 

 always a favorite ; enormous cark red 

 flowers with a handsome white stripe 

 through the center of each petal. Its 

 robust habit and ease of culture render 

 it the most generally useful of the 

 family. Ea. 30c. 

 v itt at a. Purpurea (Vallota purpurea). Per- 



johnsonii. b aps t h e most use f ul for house culture 

 of all. It is of evergreen habit and should never be en- 

 tirely dried off in the manner of the other varieties ; 

 but should be kept in a growing state after blooming. 

 Flowers glowing purple and scarlet, lasting a long time 

 in perfection and produced in astonishing numbers. 

 Ea., 30c; 3 for 75c; doz., S2.50. 



Equestre. A beautiful species, blooming with great 

 freedom. The vigorous bulbs produce large, showy 

 flowers which in -color are a sparkling orange red; ele- 

 gant, varied with a green and white star in the center.

 in the open ground. Ea., 25c; 3 for 60c; doz., $2.25.

 duced by artificial hybridization. They include a great 

 range of color, beautifully varied with white and ruby 

 red. Many of them produce flowers of astonishing 

 size, exceeding eight inches in diameter ; resembling 

 richly colored Auratum lilies. Strong pot-grown bulbs
