This is one of the most remarkable plants in our entire 
list; each flower has three distinct colors, scarlet, purple 
and white. It is entirely new and different from any 
other variety of this class. 'The blossoms are tube shaped, 
about two inches in length, and have two rich scarlet winjjs 
at the edge of each flower; the tip is a dark i)iirple, and the 
stamens pure white; the body, or tube, of the fl'>weris covered 
with small hairs, which gives it a very odd appearance. The 
plants arc strong, rapid growers, and nc^uire no special treat- 
ment, doine well in any good soil, and will blossom freely the 
year round. Either for pot or massing in betis, it is one <jf the 
best and showiest plants we arc acquainted with. It grows 
to a height of about fifteen inches, and produces its bright 
blossoms in such profusion as to attract attention wherever 
exhibited. We hope that none of our patrons will overlook 
this novelty when ordering their plants. Price, 26c. each,; 
3 for 60c. 
/inflRTLLI/ EQUE-fTRE. 
One of the most beautiful species of Amaryllis in cultiva- 
tion; of the easiest management, and invaluable as a winter 
bloomer, flowering very soon after the bulbs are potted. The 
flowers open out very flat, and are nodding, instead of being 
in the form of most Amaryllis. Each flower is five, or more, 
inches across, bright, sparkling orange-red, with a most beau- 
tiful green and white star in the center. We know of no bulb 
so absolutely sure to bloom and please customers. If not 
potted the dry bulbs will finally throw op a stem and bloom, 
without roots or leaves, even if laid on a dry board in the sun. 
The bulbs we offer are unequaled and full grown blooming 
size. 26c. each. 
"My Amaryllis Equestre is in full bloom to-day (Easter) 
with two more buds. It ia splendid." — Mrs. H. J. Stott. Wes- 
terly. K. I. 
"The flower is a brilliant scarlet. It can be forced for use 
about the holidays, and is most effective in vases or baskets." 
— American Garden.
