BULBS for Indoor and Greenhouse Growing I 



AMARYLLIS 



An unsurpassable display of flower color 

 in early spring is the reward of starting 

 Amaryllis bulbs during October and Novem- 

 ber in a sunny window or greenhouse. The 

 bulbs should be potted singly as soon as 

 received, using good garden loam with a 

 handful of general garden fertilizer (5-10-5) 

 added for each pot. Diameter of the pots 

 should not exceed the bulb diameter by more 

 than 3 inches. Storage in a dark place where 

 temperature ranges from 50 to 60 degrees 

 for four weeks is necessary. Bulbs are then 

 brought into the sunlight and watered only 

 after the flower bud has formed. 



GIANT HYBRIDS. A fine mixture of se- 

 lected California-grown bulbs producing 4 to 

 6 beautifully formed flowers to a stem, in a 

 range of colors from pure white with varied 

 markings of rose, red and crimson to rich 

 selfs in scarlet, crimson-cherry and a near- 

 maroon. Mixed colors only.
