AMARYLLIS. 



In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis, the following method should be 

 observed: On receipt of the bulbs in the Autumn they should be placed where they 

 will be always .slightly moist and warm, under the benches of a greenhouse, for 

 example; do not pot up the bulbs before the flower buds appear; when first potted 

 give very little water, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat ; increase 

 the supply of water as the plants progress. Very often the mistake is made that 

 bulbs are potted up too early; the consequence is that only leaf growth is made. 

 The proper soil for Amaryllis is turfy loam emiched with rotten manure. 



Belladonna Major. (Belladonna Lily.) Flowers silvery- 

 white, flushed and tipped with deep rose; extra large bulbs . 



Equestris. (The Barbadoes Lily.) Scarlet, with broad 

 white stripes; free bloomer 



Formoslssima. 



(■Jacohca n Lily . ) 

 New Hybrids. 



Dark crimson 



Hippeastrum, New Hybrids. (Viltata.) The finest 

 race of Amaryllis in cultivation; exceeding in the size and 

 fine form of their tlowers, as well as in the diversity of 

 colors and markings, all former hybrids. The segments 

 are of nearly uniform size, giving the flowers a regular trum- 

 pet form 



Johnsoni. (Bermuda Spice Lily.) Enormous bright crim- 

 son flowers with a white stripe through each segment; mag- 

 nificent 



Hallil. (Lycoris squamiacra.) Bright rosy-lilac flowers, 

 fra.s^ant, 3 or 4 inches acro.ss, blooms in August. The 

 foliage appears in Spring, disappears in .Time, and is fol- 

 lowed two months later by the naked flowers. Hardy if 

 protected . ■.
