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 
line 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 spread¬ 
ing shape. Color soft light scar¬ 
let with white 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 it in the Bahama Islands, 
where it thrives luxuriantly, ana 
have imported thousands of them. 
Our stock is now so largo that we 
have selected 100,000 fine bulbs for 
the Mayflower Premium for this 
fall, regarding ‘ which see page 3. For 
winter blooming this is one of the real 
gems, ranking in beauty and value with 
Lilium Ha.rrisi. Sacred Lily, or. in fact,any 
of the well-known favorites. That one can 
so fine an Amaryllis as this, and a superb win¬ 
ter bloomer at such little cost will make the 
Queen Lily as popular and as universally grown’ 
as the Bermuda Easter Lily.. Extra large and, 
strong bulbs, for early blooming. 33c. each; 3 for 
60c; 6 for $1.00; 13 for $3.00.
