Amaryllis (Nirene) Sarniensis. 



Amaryllis. (Vittata Type.) 



Amaryllis 



Amaryllis Formosissima. 



Amaryllis Belladonna. 



For many years a constantly increasing interest has been taken in this beautiful genus, and as a result, 

 numberless beautiful new Hybrids and varieties have been produced, of which the best and most distinct types 

 will be found in the fo'lowing list, winch maybe justly considered as the 'cream'' of existing sorts. Amaryllis 

 culture is easy and simple, the only secret being t~> give them alternately a season of excitement, and a period of repose. 

 To do this effectually, the plants should be abundantly supplied with water and heat, and placed near the glass -when 

 they are coming into flower, and water should be withheld from them by degrees when they are done flowering, till they 

 have entirely ceased growing, when they should be kept quite dry and in a state of rest. When in this state they 

 may be put in any obscure part of the greenhouse where it is dry and of a temperature not under 40 or CO degrees. 

 If kept in such a situation during winter, some kinds may be turned out into a warm border in spring, where they 

 will flower; and if the season be fine, they will renew their bulbs in time to be be taken up before the approach of frost. 

 The chief value of these plants, howeyer, is to produce flowers in the winter season, which they readily do, if they are 

 kept dry and dormant during the latter part of the summer and autumn. Indeed, by haying a largre stock of these bulbs, a 

 regular succession of flowers maj T be procured during every month in the year. When the dormant bulbs are intended to 

 be thrown into flower, they should be fresh potted in sandy loam and leaf mould, and put in a hot-house or hot-bed, the 

 heat beginning at fifty degrees, and ascending to sixty or seventy degrees ; and when the leaves appear, they should be 

 abundantly supplied with water.
