PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS. 



AMARYLLIS, 



'The Knight's Star Lily 



Probably the most magnifi- 

 cent and gorgeous bulbous 

 plant known. Their immense 

 flowers, richness of coloring 

 and regal habit are simply in- 

 comparable. They throw up 

 spikes from 18 inches to 3 feet 

 high, bearing enormous trum- 

 pet shaped flowers, averaging 

 6 to 10 inches across, of great 

 substance, some being of rich 

 and glowing colors — others 

 delicately shaded and superb- 

 ly veined. For pot culture 

 in the window, conservatory 

 cr greenhouse, they are well 

 adapted and when in bloom 

 in the winter and spring 

 months, no flower can ap- 

 p-oach their beauty. (See 

 cut.)
