BARR’S NEW SEEDLING NERINES, 1920. 
NERINES— 
Nerines bloom most freely when well established in pots. Re-pot every third or fourth year. 
In potting, put in plenty of crocks to ensure good drainage, and use a compost of two-thirds good loam 
and one-third sand, with a sprinkling of well-decayed leaf soil or old manure and bonemeal. 
BEi'" Our Exhibit of New Hybrid Nerines was awarded by the R.H.S. a Silver Banksi9.11 
Medal, November 1914, and a Silver Flora Medal November 1916.
