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. 



IRIS. 



Splendid for eairly forcing, color light blue. 



$1.50 per doz.; $12.C0

 form 



HalliL (Lycoris squamigera.) Bright rosy-lilac flowers, 

 fragrant, 3 or 4 inches acro.ss, blooms in August. The 

 foliage appears in Spring, disappears in June, and is fol- 

 lowed two months later by the naked flowers. Hardy if
