Amaryllis Belladonna. 



Amaryllis culture is easy and simple, the only secret being to give them alternately a season of excite- 

 ment, and a period of repose. To do this effectually, the plants should be abundantly supplied with water 

 and heat, and placed Dear the glass when they are coming into flower, and water should be withheld from 

 them by degrees when they are done flowering, till they have entirely ceased growing, when they should be 

 kept quite dry and in a state of rest. When in this state .they may be put in any obscure part of the green- 

 house where it is dry and of a temperature not under 40 or 50 degrees. If kept in such a situation during 

 winter, some kinds may be turned out into a warm border in spring, w r here they will flower, and if the season 

 be fine, they will renew their bulbs in time to be taken up before the approach of frost. The chief value o^ 

 these plants, however, is to produce flowers in the winter season, Avhich they readily do, if they are kept dry 

 and dormant during the latter part of the summer and autumn.
