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.
