BOLGIANO'S GIANT HYBRIDS (Bulbs Ready October 20th) 



The United States Department of 

 Agriculture here in Washington has 

 been working to the improvement 

 of the various strains of Amaryllis 

 for years, and it is a wonderful sight 

 to see several thousands of these 

 magnificent pot plants in bloom in 

 the month of March here in the gov- 

 ernment greenhouses. 



Our bulbs produce vigorous stems 

 with from 4 to 6 blooms of the most 

 perfect form, ranging in color from 

 pure white grounds, with varied 

 markings of rose, red and crimson 

 to the richest colors, such as scarlet, 

 crimson, bright red, cherry and al- 

 most maroon. Pot up bulbs as soon 

 as received in good garden loam, en- 

 rich with a handful of bone fertilizer 

 or liquid manure. Cover only to the 

 shoulder of the bulb. Keep in a 

 temperature of about 50 to 60 de- 

 grees until well rooted then place 

 in a sunny window and give water 

 regularly. Bulbs planted in Octo- 

 ber or November should conie into 

 bloom in March. Mixed colors only.
