Amaryllis Regina. 
The Queenly beauty of this su¬ 
perb Amaryllis has given it the 
name of Regina (Queen) Amaryl¬ 
lis or Queen Lily. That it is a 
tine winter bloomer also adds 
much to its merits. Bulbs large 
and strong, ready to commence 
growth as soon as potted, and will 
soon bloom. Flowers very large, 
beautiful wide-open or spreading 
shape. Color soft light scarlet 
with whit© center or throat. The 
charming color and beautiful 
shape of the flower make this one 
of the choicest of the large and 
celebrated race of Amaryllis spe¬ 
cies. In fact, it is the Queen of the 
tribe, and until within a few years 
has been scarce and expensive. 
Lately we found large quantities 
of this bulb intheBahama Islands, 
■where it thrives luxuriantly, and 
have imported thousands of them. 
For winter blooming this is one 
of the real gems, ranking in beauty and 
value to Lilium Harrisi, Sacred Lily, or, 
in fact,to any of the well-known favorites. 
That one can get so fine an Amaryllis ns 
this, and a superb winter bloomer at such little 
cost will make the Queen Lilyas popular and 
as universally grown as the Bermuda Easter 
Lily. Extra large and strong bulbs, for early 
blooming, 20c. each: 3 for 60c.; 7 for SI; 15 for $2.
