THE BLUE AMARYLLIS. 
Hippeastrum procerum 
(TRUE.) 
The bulbs offered are large and very fine. See drawing on day of sale. 
Flowers resembling in shape some of the best Amaryllis hybrids, 
and are borne, like them, several on a spike, each segment being often 
6 inches long, charmingly undulated, not quite uniform, but a kind <»f 
dappled blue, as seen in Vanda ccerulea, adding greatly to the attra tioj 
of the flowers; darkest on the apical portion of the flowers, while 00 tin- 
lower halves it is broken with white, the extreme base beingquite white. 
The great size, beauty and distinct color of the flowers should ren- 
der the species of great service to the florist, and as it merely requin| 
ordinary stove treatment, in every way it is a decided acquisition.
