AMACRINUM HOWARDII 
A Remarkable California Nove Ity 
INTRODUCER'S DESCRIPTION 
D URING many years of consistent and unremitting work 
we have produced many notable novelties, and most 
conspicuous of them all is Amacrinum Howardii. Of 
such outstanding character and worth is this unique bulbous 
plant that it won from the Royal Horticultural Society of 
Great Britain the coveted Solid-Silver Cory Cup, awarded 
annually for the most meritorious novelty exhibited in its show 
in London, where the whole world is represented in keen 
competition. That rich trophy has been taken out of Europe 
but once, and the fact of the premier honor coming to this firm 
is a high tribute to this introduction. Amacrinum Howardii is a 
true bi-generic hybrid, of which there are comparatively few in 
existence. It is a cross of Crinum-Moorei on Amaryllis Bella¬ 
donna, the latter being the seed-bearing parent. It combines the 
good qualities of both in striking fashion, yet it is very different. 
This new plant is useful for growing either in pots or in the 
open ground, and is showy wherever placed, bearing flowers of 
a beautiful soft pink in great trusses, on stems 4 feet long. 
These spears of bloom make it valuable for effective use in 
vases or otherwise as cut-flowers. In addition to its superb 
beauty, this bulbous plant has the advantage of being easy of 
cultivation, developing to perfection in the open ground in such 
climates as Southern California, with about the same attention 
as Amaryllis Belladonna or the various Crinums. It will flower 
splendidly in pots or tubs indoors or in greenhouses. 
We have a limited amount cf bulbs to offer 
at $2.50 each; $25 per doz.
