AMARYLLIS SEEDS 
Directions for Sowing: Amaryllis seeds should be 
sown in boxes or seed pans (in greenhouse or hot 
bed) containing finely sifted sandy leaf mould to a 
thickness of three inches. Smooth out surface of 
soil evenly and sprinkle thoroughly. Spread seeds 
closely together (so close that they touch one 
another) and cover with the same soil, just sufficient 
to hold down. Keep moist but not too wet. If air is 
too dry cover with glass. In case of very hot sun, 
cover the glass with a sheet of paper in order to 
prevent the heat from burning the young plants. 
Plants will come up in about three weeks and should 
remain in the same box for two or three months. 
Replant in three-inch pot or in boxes about two 
inches apart. Seedlings, when given the proper care, 
will commence to flower fifteen months after sowing. 
Seeds may be sown at any time of the year in a 
greenhouse.

AMARYLLIS 
(Diener's Everflowering Mammoth Hybrids) 
Amaryllis have always been highly favored 
by myself and consequently I have applied 
special attention in improving them as much 
as possible. Among my early crossings 
there appeared a few which flowered two 
times in one year, so I crossed them to¬ 
gether, which gave me seedlings flowering 
even oftener than twice a year. Those I 
used for my stock of Amaryllis which I am 
now offering. Many flowers are from nine 
to fourteen inches in diameter and have four 
to six flowers to the spike. The colors run 
from nearly white through all shades of 
pink into the deepest fiery scarlet. These 
Amaryllis always attract a great deal of at¬ 
tention. They are easy to raise and flower 
about fifteen months after sowing. They are 
very valuable as cut flowers. If the pollen 
is removed when the flowers open, they will 
last for several weeks. These mammoth 
Amaryllis Hybrids are destined to be a won¬ 
derful show flower. 
Directions for Planting: Cultivation is sim¬ 
ple. Soil suitable for a geranium or fuchsia 
is right for them. They must have shade 
when under glass. When bulbs are larger, 
it is necessary in planting that just the roots 
be placed in the ground, the whole bulbs 
must be above the ground. They should be 
watered only when the top soil is dry. 
Amaryllis should be kept under continual 
cultivation all the year, never rested or kept 
dry. Soil should be changed once a year. 
The nearer they are kept to 70 degrees at 
night the more they will flower. Bulbs will 
be sent by American Express, charges collect. 
Price: In five- or six-inch pots, $2.00 to 
$10.00, according to quality. Extra fancy 
varieties with giant size flowers from $10.00 
to $25.00, according to quality. 
Small bulbs taken from the large size 
bulbs which will make flowering plants in 
six months. Ready Now.
