Henderson’s New Giant Amaryllis 
These magnificent new creations produce some of the largest flowers known. They are 
seldom less than 6 inches in diameter, and frequently 14 inches. As easy to grow as Iris or Gladiolus. 
I especially recommend them as substitutes for tulips in warm climates as they increase in size and 
beauty each year. IMPORTANT: Do not confuse these Amaryllis with the familiar summer-blooming 
Amaryllis Belladona on which the foliage dies in summer. These new creations have both foliage and 
flowers at the same time. Plant in full sun. Colors are white, beautifully marked and striped with 
crimson; ruby-red, light and dark shades of pink, scarlet and a dark velvet red. After the bulbs are 
established they will bloom several times a year. The largest crop of flowers is borne in spring, about 
the same time' the Darwin tulips are in bloom. Unequaled for garden use in the west. Plant any time. 
In form the flowers resemble gigantic lilies. For several years I have been hybridizing many varieties 
of this fine flower. The best obtainable stock has been secured from England, France and Germany, also 
the best of the Burbank strain, for this work. Several acres will be devoted to this experiment during this 
next season. A new double-flowered form is under observation and also a yellow variety. Mixed colors, 
large blooming size bulbs are 75c each; $3.00 for six; $5.00 for 12; $30.00 for 100. Smaller bulbs, to 
% inch, $20.00 per 100; will bloom in 8 months. Prices on planting stock in quantity upon request. 
Selected colors at $1.00 each. Medium size bulbs, $3.00 per 12. Prepaid. 
The velvety red Amaryllis Hyb. that I purchased from you is a beauty. 1 am delighted with 
the White Queen Crinum. It is quite similar to a large Easter lily. — Rev. C. W. H., Dallas, Texas.
