AMARYLUI^ 



There are a great many species of Amaryllis, 

 all producing lily-like flowers, but varying in 

 'W-'m^'^w^^^m^'^m^^'^ ^ » • color, from the richest crimson and scarlet to 

 pure white, and in size, from delicate blossoms scarcely an inch in diameter to those 

 which measure six to nine inches across. Prices include postage. 



Amaryllis Formosissima {Sprekelia, 

 Jacobean Lily). The brilliantly beautiful, 

 deep, rich scarlet flowers are often eight 

 inches across, and in purity and brilliancy 

 of color have no equal in garden or hot- 

 house. The plants are easily grown, and 

 although the bulbs are not hardy they can 

 be easily preserved during the winter in 

 a dry cellar and planted in the open 

 ground in the spring. They may be grown 

 in water like Hyacinths. 20 cents each; 

 Si.y^ per dozen. 



Amaryllis Atamasco {Zephyr ant he s 

 Aiaviasco). Planted in warm, sandy soil, 

 the bulbs increase rapidly and furnish a 

 constant succession of delicately beauti- 

 ful flowers, which are borne in clusters 

 of three or four, and are white, suffused 

 with pink. Hardy. 5 coits each; 40 cents 

 Per dozen. 



Amaryllis Belladonna Major. These 

 plants do best in a warm sunny well- 

 drained place out of doors, where they 

 can receive some protection in winter and 

 remain undisturbed for several years, 

 when they will throw up great clusters of 

 beautiful rosy -white flowers which will be the glory 

 of the garden. Set the bulbs as early in the au- 

 tumn as possible, surround- 

 ing and covering each bulb with 

 clean sand, and so that the top 

 will be about two 

 inches below the 

 surface. Protect 

 from severe frost, 

 taking care that 

 the covering is 

 not such as will 

 hold ice and snow. 

 20 ce7its each; $2.00 per dozen.

than the Cyclamen. It grows readily, 

 blossoms freely, and remains a long time 

 in flower. The soil should be equal parts 

 of turfy loam, leaf mould and sand. Plant 

 in September or October, in a five-inch 

 pot. Keep in a cool, light place, watering 

 lightly till growth begins, then water 

 freely and give plenty of light and air. 

 On the approach of cold w^eather, remove 

 to a warmer situation — the parlor or green- 

 house — but keep them near the light. The 

 whole secret of growing cyclamens to perfection 

 isjight,air andamoderately low te7nperature.
