AMARYLLIS (Hippeastrum). 



The Amaryllis is pre-eminently a window garden plant for the 

 amateur, producing under the simplest conditions one, two or even 

 three spikes, two feet or more high, which are crowned with from three 

 to six large and gorgeous trumpet-shaped blooms, which last long in 

 good condition. For full cultural directions see our new book, ' 'Dreer's 

 Hints on the Growing of Bulbs." Price, 25 cts. Copies free to 

 customers who ask for it when ordering. 



Dreer's American Hybrids. We believe this selection of seed- 

 lings is the best obtainable at the present time, and we know of 

 nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasure for the window 

 garden. They have been grown from seed produced by crossing 

 the finest named varieties. The resulting strain embodies, with 

 vigorous growth, free-flowering habit and enormous size of the 

 individual flowers, a reallywonderful range of colors, varying from 

 deep crimson to bright orange-scarlet; and from light rose to almost 

 pure white, many of them beautiful combinations in stripes and 

 variegations. We offer mixed varieties only, in very strong bulbs, 

 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100.

stripe. 75 cts. each.

 flowering, extensively forced by florists
