SPIDER LILIES. 



This is the popular name given to several members of 

 the great Amaryllis family on account of the singular 

 form of their large and beautiful flowers. The species 

 named below are the best and finest of their respective 

 classes, and are adapted to either pot or garden cidture. 

 "^e offer only home-grown bulbs which have been ac- 

 climated for years and can be relied upon as hardy with 

 moderate protection. If left out over winter they may 

 be covered a foot or more with earth or litter about the 

 end of ]Srovember. This covering should be removed 

 when growth begins in the spring. They may also be 

 taken up at the approach of frost and wintered in the 

 cellar or grown in roomy pots, which can be stored in 

 any out-of-the-way place during winter.
