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 rotted manure. 



Hippeastrum, New Hybrids. (Vittaia.) The finest race of 

 Amaryllis in cultivation; exceeding in the size and fine form of 

 their flowers, as well as in the diversity of colors and markings, 

 all former hybrids. The segments are of nearly uniform size, 

 giving the flowers a regular trumpet form 



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

 3 or 4 inches across, blooms in August. The foliage appears 

 in Spring, disappears in June, and is followed two months later 

 by the naked flowers. Hardy if protected
