GREENHOUSE AMARYLLIS, LILIES, TIGRIDI AS, AND TUBEROSES. 
CHOICE GREENHOUSE AMARYLLIS (uippeastrum). 
These are grand plants in the conservatory, and to cut for table bouquets and vases. With management, 
these magnificent Amaryllis may be had in bloom for many months. The unnamed seedlings quoted we 
specially recommend ; they are from the best collection in Europe, and are sure to please, both as regards 
variety and beauty of colour and size of flowers. The bulbs we offer are of large flowering size , and will bloom in 
Spring. 
Culture. — Immediately after potting, place in a moist warm temperature if at command, and, if con- 
venient, plunge the pot to the rim in a gentle, steady, moist bottom heat ; thus treated, a vigorous leaf growth 
is produced, and a strong stem with a fine umbel of large flowers secured. In the absence of bottom heat 
these Amaryllis do well in any ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window. Dr. Bonavia recommends 
that the offsets should not be removed, but kept with the parent plant, till from six to a dozen spikes of bloom 
be had from the same pot ; he also recommends that on the South Coast of England and in many parts of 
Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland, these beautiful Amaryllises should be grown outside, under south walls, 
planted one foot beneath the surface, and protected with litter or leaves during winter.

an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons and Paeonies, and in borders amongst 
Herbaceous plants. As a pot-plant the Lily is a general favourite. A full descriptive list of 70 kinds Of 
Beautiful Lilies will be found in our Daffodil Catalogue.
