Amaryllis Hippeastrum. 



AMARYLLIS. 



IN order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the following method should be followed. 

 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 flowerbuds appear ; when first potted give very little water, and pro- 

 mote 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 con- 

 sequence is that only leaf growth is made. The proper soil for Amaryllis is turfy loam 

 enriched with rotten manure.
