AMARYLLIS 



There are a great many species of Amaryllis, all 

 producing lily-like flowers, but varying in color, 

 from the richest crimson and scarlet to pure white, 

 and in size, from delicate blossoms scarcely an inch in diameter to those which measure 

 six to nine inches across. Prices include postage. 



Amaryllis Forniosissiina[S^rck- 

 elia, Jacobean Lily). The brilliantly 

 beautiful, deep, rich scarlet flowers are 

 often eight inches across, and in purity 

 and brilliancy of color have no equal 

 in garden or hot-house. The plants 

 are easily grown, and although the bulbs 

 are not hardy they can be easily pre- 

 served during the Winter in a dry cellar 

 and planted in the open ground' in the 

 Spring. They may be grown in water 

 like Hyacinths. 15 cents each; ^1.50 

 fer dozen. 



Amaryllis Atamasco {Zephyran- 

 thes Atamasco). Planted in warm, 

 sandy soil, the bulbs increase rapidly 

 and furnish a constant succession of 

 delicately beautiful flowers, which are 

 borne in clusters of three or four, and 

 are white, suffused with pink. Hardy. 

 5 cents each ; 40 cents fer dozen. 



Am.aryllis Belladonna Major, 

 These plants do best in a warm sunny 

 ivell-draiiied place out of doors, where 

 they can receive some protection in 

 Winter and remain undisturbed for sev- 

 eral years, when they will throw up 

 great clusters of beautiful rosy -white flowers which 

 ^> will be the glory of the garden. Set the bulbs as 

 early in the Autumn as pos- 

 sible, surrounding and covering 

 each bulb -with clean sand, and 

 so that the top 

 will be about 

 two inches below the 

 surface. P r o - 

 tect from severe 

 frost, taking care 

 that the cover- 

 ing is not such 

 as will hold ice and snow. 20 cents 

 each; S2.00 per dozen.

CYCLAMEN 



There is no more ornamental plant 

 for greenhouse or parlor culture than 

 the Cyclamen. It grows readily, blos- 

 soms freely, and remains a long time in 

 flower. The soil should be equal parts 

 of turfy loam, leaf mould and sand. 

 Plant in September or October, in a 

 five-inch pot. Keep in a cool, light 

 place, watering lightly till growth be- 

 gins, then water freely and give plenty 

 of light and air. On the approach of 

 cold weather, remove to a warmer situa- 

 tion — the parlor or greenhouse — but keep them 

 near the light. The whole secret of growing 

 Cyclamens to perfection, is light, air and a 

 moderately lo-v tctnperature. 



Cyclamen Gignnteum, mixed, characterized by very large flowers, beauliful foliage and profuse bloom. 20 

 cents each; $2. oo J>er doz., postpaid. 



CYCLAMEN GIGANTEUM.
