AMARYLLIS 



In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the following metliod 

 sliould be followed ; On receipt of the bulbs in autumn they should be 

 placed where they vvill be always slightly moist and warm — under tin- 

 benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs befiii. 

 tlie flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little water, an 

 promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat; increase the supply 

 of water as the plants progress. Amaryllis maybe grown in a sunny 

 window or greenhouse, by following the cultural directions.

Nerine Coruscans major 



NERINES (Amaryllidae) 



These popular South .\frican bulbous plants are among 

 the most charming and most useful of all early winter- 

 flowering plants. Coming into bloom as they do at a time 

 when bulbous flowers of real choiceness are scarce (Oc- 

 tober and November), we find that Xerines amply repay 

 the little care and attention which they require; same 

 cultural directions as amaryllis. 



There is an ever-increasing demand for these exquisitely 

 beautiful flowering bulbs. Established in pots in an 

 ordinary greenhouse with a temperature ranging from 

 35 to 60 degrees, they produce annually their handsome 

 umbels of blooms on scapes varying from 12 to 24 inches 

 long. The best time for re-potting is during August, 

 using a good sandy loamwitlia little leaf-mold and well- 

 ecayed cow manure ; encouraging a free foliage growth 

 during winter, but care should be exercised to reduce the 

 watering as soon as foliage commences to turn yellow, 

 eventually keeping the bulbs quite dry till they show- 

 signs of new growth.
