AMIARYLLIS. 
AH the kinds are of the easiest culture ; the great secret being to give them alternately a season of growth 
and one of rest. To do this well the plants should be abundantly supplied with water and heat and placed near 
the glass when they are coming into flower, and water should be withheld 
from them gradually when they have ceased flowering, when they 
should be laid away in a dry cool place. The soil suitable for their 
culture is a rich loam, one-fourth part of well-rotted manure and a 
slight proportion of sand.
