THM LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. /. 



AMARYLLIS* 



The most magnificent family of bulbous 

 plants adapted to house cultm'e. Their enor- 

 mous and brilliant flowers are produced in 

 remarkable profusion and under the simplest 

 conditions. The bulbs should be potted in a 

 light soil consisting of a mixtm-e 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 moistm-e. After blooming the water 

 may be gradually withheld imtil 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. 



The bulbs are too large Jo be sent by mail. 

 Vittata Hybrids. These splendid varieties are 

 produced by artificial hybridization. They 

 include a great range of color, but the pre- 

 vailing colors are deep rich crimson, exquis- 

 itely marked with stripes of white. Many of 

 them produce flowers of astonishing size, ex- 

 ceeding eight inches in diameter ; resembling 

 richly colored Am'atum lilies. Those we offer 

 were grown by us from seed hybridized in 

 om* own greenhouses, and all but those of 

 surpassing beauty discarded. The flowers 

 are not only of colossal size and of superb 

 colors, but they are freely produced. The 

 illustration is made from a photograph of 

 an average bulb in flower. Strong pot- 

 grown bulbs with good roots, ea., 50c; 3 for 

 81.00; doz. $3.50. Extra strong bulbs, ea.,

 Those bulbs which I purchased from you for window gar- 

 deumg, last Fall, did rcmaikably well. The bloom was 

 beautiful, also very perfect. In fact they were the most per- 

 fect lot of bulbs I ever received from any florist. I have 

 found everything purchased from your company prove very 

 satisfactory. Mrs. S. M. Hertzlkk.
