AMARYLLIS 
S. & W. Co.’s Giant Hybrids 
Few, if any, of the bulbous plants give the 
amateur greater pleasure for the window- 
garden than these giant-flowering Amaryllis 
that are so easily managed. Up to a few 
years ago, the finest varieties of these were 
exhibited at our New York Flower Show and 
were in the hands of just a few fanciers who 
procured their bulbs from a famous English 
collection. The United States Department of 
Agriculture, at Washington, has been im¬ 
proving on these strains for the past fifteen 
years, and our grower has been producing 
bulbs from a strain secured from the Govern¬ 
ment. One of the most glorious sights in 
March is several thousands of these magnifi¬ 
cent pot-plants in bloom in the Government 
greenhouses at Washington, D. C. Our strain 
of bulbs produces vigorous stems with from 
four to six blooms of the most perfect form, 
ranging in color from pure white grounds with 
varied markings of rose, red, and crimson, to 
the richest self colors, such as scarlet, crimson, 
bright red, cherry, and almost maroon. Pot 
up bulbs, as soon as received, in good garden 
loam, enriched with a handful of bone fer¬ 
tilizer; water well and store in a dark place 
in a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees for four 
weeks until well rooted, then bring to light. 
Put in a sunny window and give water regu¬ 
larly. Bulbs potted up during September and 
October may be had in bloom in March. 
After they are through blooming, the pots 
may be set outdoors, laying them on the side 
until the bulbs become dormant. They may 
be repotted the following fall. 
Mixed colors, Jumbo Bulbs, suitable for 
6 -inch pots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.,

ANEMONES (Windflower) 
These popular flowers of French origin are 
useful as decorative plants for house or gar¬ 
den, and for cutting. If planted outdoors in 
the fall they must be well protected; may 
also be planted in spring in well-drained soil, 
and will flower during the summer.

finest strain of single-flowering Anemones 
as yet raised. The plants are taller in

per 100.
