X ALSTROMERIA, these beautiful “Peruvian Lilies” are easy to cultivate, and produce in 
Summer abundance of showy attractive flowers, which last long in water when cut. They 
like a well-drained light soil and a sunny situation. Aurantiaca, chilensis, and lutea produce 
a most brilliant effect in the flower border. Plant with the top 6 inches below the surface, 
by preference close to a south wall or hedge, and protect, the first Winter, with leaves or 
litter. They should be allowed to remain undisturbed, so as to become well established. 
Pelegrina, Pulchra, and Revolula are more tender, and delight in hot dry sunny situations, 
such as under a south wall, and require protection each winter ; they also make fine plants 
for a cool greenhouse.
