AMARYLLIS. 



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

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

 will be always slightly 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.
