...Amaryllis... 



Johnsonii. "Tlie Barbadoes Spice Lily." Congenial conditions — 

 climate and soil — produce a strong-growing variety of Amaryllis, popularly 

 known in the West India Isles as "The Spice Lily." Probably the most 

 magnificent and gorgeous flowering bulbous plants known. Their immense 

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

 The bulbs are very large, 8 to 12 inches in circumference, and produce, 

 with great certainty, extra-strong spikes of bloom, from 18 inches to 3 feet 

 high, bearing enormous trumpet-shaped flowers of great substance, averaging 

 fl to 10 inches across, of rich and glowing scarlet, intensified by a con- 

 trasting wide white stripe through each petal. For pot culture in 

 the window, conservatory or greenhouse they are well adaiited, and 

 when in bloom in the winter and spring months no flower can 

 approach their beauty — spikes frequently produce i to 8 flowers 

 each, and often 2 and 3 spikes are produced at one time. 

 Extra large bulbs (now ready), 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



Amaryllis Vittata 

 Hybrida. These are un- 

 named seedling hybrids, 

 and will produce some 

 new varieties of excep- 

 tional beauty. The color- 

 ings and markings are 

 exquisite, the bulbs are 

 very large, 12 inches and 

 over in circumference, and 

 are of sufficient strength 

 and age to produce mag- 

 nificent flowers during 

 the winter or spring. 

 (Ready in November.) Price, 

 $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz. 



Anlica Flatypetala. 

 "Lily of the Pal- 

 ace." Flowers large and 

 extremely handsome, 

 glowing crimson, tipped 

 green. Splendid winter 

 bloomer. $1.25 each, 

 $12.00 per doz.
