AMARYLLIS. 



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

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

 will be always shghtly 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 enriched with rotten manure. 



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

 white stripes; free bloomer 



Formosissima. (Jacohean Lily.) Dark crimson . 



Hippeastrum, New Hybrids. (Vittata.) The finest race 

 of Amaryllis in cultivation; exceeding in the size and fine 

 form of their flowers, as well as in the di\-ersity of colors 

 and markings, all former hybrids. The segments are of 

 nearly uniform size, giving the flowers a regular trumpet 

 form 



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

 son flowers with a white stripe through each segment; mag 

 nificent 



Hallii. (Lycoris squamigera.) Bright rosy-lilac flowers, 

 fragrant, 3 or 4 inches across, blooms in August. The 

 fohage ajTpears in Spring, disappears in June, and is fol- 

 lowed two months later by the naked flowers. Hardy if 

 protected
