AMARYLLIS HALLI. 



Hall's Hardy Amaryllis. 



In early spring it produces sword-like leaves which

 would be apt to conclude the bulbs had perished; but, lo! 

 in a month or six weeks the flower stalks are thrown up 

 two feet high and are crowned with clusters of exquisitely 

 beautiful orchid-like flowers, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. 

 The flowers are delicate lilac-pink, shaded with sky blue, 

 and there are from 8 to 10 upon each stalk. 



It needs no special care or attention. Once properly 

 planted, (merely place the bulbs about four inches below 

 the surface), it will take care of itself. Strong bulbs, 

 each, 25c; doz., $2.50.
