It is impossible to name a more magnificent genus of bulbous 

 flowering plants than the Amaryllis. Under the simplest culture 

 they throw up scapes from one to three feet high, surmounted by 

 immense tnmipet shaped flowers of the most gorgeous colors, which 

 in some species are nearly a foot wide when fully expanded and vary- 

 ing from five to eight inches in length. In form and color all are 

 both beautiful and striking, ranging as they do from brilliant scarlet 

 to richest crimson— often shaded ^vith. orange with veinings and 

 stripings of pm-est white, rose and crimson. The genus is truly 

 astounding in its immense blooms, wealth of coloring and regal habit.
