Mixed Varieties, $1.00 each; S10.00 per doz. 
The Amaryllis is the easiest bulb known, for the amateur to grow 
indoors. They do best in a compost of garden soil with a little sand, 
and should be grown in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees in a house. 
For forcing about ten degrees higher. The size of pot employed will 
depend on the bulb, for ordinary sized bulbs a six inch pot will be 
large enough one bulb to a pot. Cover bulb as far up as the neck, and 
water sparingly until flower shoots appear. Some growers keep them 
in the dark until the flower shoots are four inches long and then 
bring them to the light.
