AMARYLLIS 
Giant American Hybrids 
The value of Amaryllis depends on the quality of the strain. 
We buy our bulbs from several sources of known reputation, 
and mix these strains ourselves, thus making certain that you 
get the best obtainable. Every bulb we ship is of flowering 
size and many produce more than one flowering stem.
