AMARYLLIS. 



(Ready in October.) 



Extremely ornamental greenhouse plants, with large, fragrant, 

 beautifully colored flowers. The most siiitable soil is good loam, 

 with one-fourth part of leaf-mould or pulverized manure, and some 

 sand. Good drainage is very important. The growing season is fr. ri 

 early spring until about September, when the plants should be kt; ; 

 cool and allowed to rest until February. They require plenty of sun 

 shine, but in the flowering season a light shading tends to preserve 

 the blossoms longer. Frequent disturbance of the roots is to be 

 avoided. Established bulbs in large ])Ots should have a top-dressing 

 starting, and manure water during the growing season.
