Amaryllis Bulbs 
To obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the fol¬ 
lowing method should be followed: They should 
be placed so as to be always slightly moist and 
warm; do not pot up the bulbs before the flower 
buds appear; when potted give very little water, 
and promote growth by giving moderate bottom 
heat; increase the supply of water as the plants 
progress. Do not pot too early; the consequence 
is that only leaf growth is made. The proper 
soil for Amaryllis is turfy loam enriched with 
rotten manure.
