GIANT HYBRID AMARYLLIS. 



"INTERNATIONAL PRIZE" STRAIN.

These giant flowering hybrids of Vittata are unnamed seedlings from a famous 

 English collection and are of exceptional beauty. The coloring and markings 

 are exquisite; the bulbs are very large, and are of sufficient strength and age to 

 produce magnificent flowers during the winter or spring. They are probably 

 the most magnificent and gorgeous bulbous plants known. Their immense 

 flowers, richness of coloring and regal habit are simply incomparable. They 

 throw up spikes from 2 to 3 feet high, bearing enormous wide petalled flowers 

 averaging 8 to 10 inches across and of great substance, some being of rich and 

 glowing colors, others delicately shaded and superbly veined.

 gardens and conservatories. If several 

 bulbs are planted in a 10-inch pot or
