W HEN we throw stones at radi- 
ator heats, we throw stones at 
one of the heats we sell. 
Some people insist on buying them, 
so we sell what they insist on having. 
But when we do sell them, they are 
sold as just a radiator heat; not as a 
Kelsey Health Heat. 
Knowing as we so well do, the lim- 
itation, the disadvantages and un- 
healthfulness of radiator heats, we 
can the better judge the goodness of 
the Kelsey Health Heat. 
Briefly, it is a warm air heat that 
heats with air as fresh and full of 
health, as the air of the sunshiny 
outside. . 
It heats every room in any weather, 
and any wind ! 
It burns less coal than any radiator 
or furnace heat. We can prove it.

The Adaptable Amaryllis 
'T'HE Amaryllis, at least Johnstoni, or 
A Bermuda Spice Lily kind, is very tolerant 
of mistreatment, and will deliver its big, red, 
five-pointed, lilylike blossoms at the proper 
season with any reasonable encouragement. 
Bulbs brought from Bermuda twelve years 
ago were potted three to an eight-inch pot, 
and have been repotted only once, about six 
years ago. 1 hey will bloom either in summer 
in the open, or in winter in a sunny window, 
but they should have a year’s rest between 
blooming seasons. During their rest time 
they may be left perfectly dry in a cellar 
where they won’t freeze. For summer bloom- 
ing, begin to water the pots a week or two 
before it is safe to plunge them in the garden. 
1 hat will be when it is certain that there 
will be no more frost. A little manure water 
seems to stimulate them after they begin to 
grow. After a short growth of leaves a tall 
bloomstalk will shoot up, and the leaves will 
develop by the time the blossoms open. 
There are two or three of these to each stalk. 
Bermuda Spice Lily (Amaryllis Johnstoni) has a tena- 
cious vitality. It starts into growth on the least stimulus 
and produces its showy red flowers when there is no more 
danger of frost 
If the leaves show much growth before the 
bloomstalk develops the bulb will be “blind” 
for that season. The pots may be left in 
the ground until danger of frost when they 
should be taken to the cellar and left to dry 
out. To change from summer to winter 
blooming, let the pots go over a season in a 
dry state. For instance, a pot that bloomed 
in the summer of 1915 was left dry until the 
fall of 1916, and then bloomed in a sunny 
window, in living room temperature, about 
six weeks after it was first watered. After 
the winter blossoms have faded and the leaves 
have their growth, the pots may be placed 
in the cellar in the same way as after the 
summer blooming season. This is probably 
not the best way to handle Amaryllis, hut 
it is a convenient way for amateurs with 
limited facilities.
