New, Rare and Beautiful Plants. 
Bulbs and Tubers for 5tove and 
Greenhouse Culture. 
69 
ANY OF our most showy and brilliant flowering plants have bulbous or tuberous roots, which, with but a 
minimum of care, are very free of bloom. Our Amaryllids will be found worthy of especial attention ; we 
make a specialty of this superb genus, and are headquarters for it. Some of the species are peculiarly 
adapted to house culture, thriving exceedingly well in an ordinary window, and presenting their brilliant 
flowers in winter and early spring. We have many rare species, and grow them to great perfection at our Tropical 
Nurseries in Trinidad. The beautiful new hybrids are fine for early forcing.
