R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.'S AUTUMN CATALOGUE. 



AMARYLLIS 



In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the 

 following method should be followed : 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 flowerbuds appear; when first potted give 

 very little water, and promote growth by giving moder- 

 ate 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 

 ^^(^^^^SJdT 331 ^ ^J£tM)j§ only leaf-growth is made. The proper soil for Ama- 

 ryllis is turfy loam enriched with rotten manure.
