YOU’LL REALLY ENJOY GROWING OUR AMARYLLIS 
Following of Simple Instructions Will Result 
in Success 
Amaryllis (a classic name) the variety really 
grown and so popular, is A. Hippeastrum Vit- 
tata Hybrids and are part of the Amarylli- 
daceae Family. They are of the easiest cul¬ 
ture, can be grown in a city or country home 
having a sunny window. For best success 
they should be grown in pots the year around, 
6 or 7 inch pots for the large blooming size 
bulbs. A good garden soil with a little rotten 
cow manure, some moss peat and a dash of 
sand is best. 
Upon receiving your bulb, pot same immedi¬ 
ately, have good drainage and leave top of bulb 
exposed. Place same in sunny window, keep 
well watered (but do not let stand in water) 
until it blooms after which you must keep 
same growing until the weather is warm 
enough to plunge outside in a sunny place. 
Remember—keep watered during growing 
period. They usually bloom in winter when 
flowers are most appreciated. 
If your bulb is exposed as it should be, 
plunge same, pot and all, so that bulb is cov¬ 
ered at least one inch and keep growing until 
September when you take pot up and store in 
frost-proof basement or any other dry place. 
About January bring same up to the light and 
begin to water it. Blooms will appear shortly. 
Repotting should be done before plunging out 
doors. Do not disturb at other seasons of the 
year. 
Our Hybrids are of the most beautiful and 
classic flowers that grow. They are of the 
easiest culture known. They are even more 
beautiful in coloring than the orchid and much 
larger in size. The colors in our Hybrids range 
with self-colorings from the darkest of red, all 
shades of pink, down to the purest white, also 
many are striped with several shades of red 
and pink while others are dotted throughout.
