18 J. M. THORBURN & CO/S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



Amaryllis ready in October 



If to be sent by mail add postage at zone rates, as per weight indicated 



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, (lood 

 drainage is very important. 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 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.
