Amaryllis ready in October 



Extremely ornamental greenhouse plants, with large, ira- 

 grant, 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 important. 

 The growing season is from early spring until about September, 

 when the plants should be kei)t cool and allowed to rest until 

 February. They require plenty of sunshine, but in the flower- 

 ing season a light shading tends to preserve the blossoms longer. 

 Frequent disturbance of the roots is to be avoided. Established 

 bulbs in large pots should have a top-dressing each year 

 when starting, and manure-water during the growing season.
