Amaryllis 
The Amaryllis, one of the most beautiful of our tender or 
greenhouse bulbs, is greatly admired though little grown. 
Bulbs should be potted in the Autumn as soon as possible, 
and allowed to root slowly. Their flower scape usually ap¬ 
pears about February, after which the foliage commences to 
show. They should be kept growing until August or Sep¬ 
tember and then allowed to rest until flowering time. Do 
not disturb the roots if repotting is needed. Most varieties 
are ready for delivery in October.
