Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SUMMER FLOWERING 



AMARYLLIS 



In order to obtain fine specimensof Amaryllis the following method 

 should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs 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. Owing to the 

 increased demand for Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) vittata Hybrids, we 

 have made arrangements with a European house, who are specialists 

 of this grand flowering bulb, to supply us with the very latest crea- 

 tions and varieties of this popular plant and offer them as follows.
