AMARYLLIS 



READY IN OCTOBER 



Extremely ornamental greenhouse plants, 

 with large, fragrant, beautifully colored flowers. 

 The most suitable soil is good loam, with one- 

 fourth part of leaf-mold, or pulverized manure, 

 and some sand. Good drainage is very im- 

 portant. The growing season is from early 

 spring until about September, when the plants 

 should be kept cool and allowed to rest until 

 February. They require plenty of sunshine, but 

 in the flowering season a light shading tends to 

 preserve the blossoms longer. Frequent dis- 

 turbance of the roots is to be avoided. Estab- 

 lished bulbs in large pots should have a top- 

 dressing each year when starting, and manure- 

 water during the growing season. 

 Belladonna major. Violet and white; flowers in 

 large umbels; fragrant. 25 cts. each, $2.25 

 per doz. 



Formosissima (Jacobaean Lily). 25 cts. each, $2.50 

 per doz.
