AMARYLLIS HALLII. 
Nothing has been introduced among hardy, bulbous-

splendid Amaryllis. In manner of growth it somewhat 
resembles A. Belladonna, as the foliage is produced in 
May and the flowers the last of August. The flower 
stem is about two feet in height, crowned with from six 
to eight flowers, which measure three or more inches in 
diameter, of a soft rose color, delicately tinted with a 
shade of blue on each petal, quite sweet-scented, and 
perfectly hardy, all our bulbs having been grown in the 
open ground without the slightest protection during 
winter; was awarded a silver medal and first-class cer. 
tificate of merit by the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society. Strong bulbs. Each, $1.25; per dozen, $12.00. 
ANEMONES-WIND FLOWERS. 
Perhaps n o floral 
display excels in rich¬ 
ness and beauty a fine 
bed of Anemones in 
all their brilliant col¬ 
ors, running through 
all shades of blue, 
rose, scarlet, white, 
lavender, etc. They 
produce an enormous 
quantity of flowers, 
both single and 
double, very varied in 
form, and can be had 
in bloom from early 
spring until late 
autumn. They are 
invaluable for the dec¬ 
oration of the wild 
garden, borders, mass¬ 
ing and for cutting 
purposes. For pot culture they are very fine indeed. For 
garden culture, plant the bulbs in October or November, 
or as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, 
in moist, well drained fertile soil, setting them about two 
inches deep, in rows or groups six inches apart, and be¬ 
fore the ground freezes cover with leaves and manure 
for winter protection. For pot culture, use rich, porous 
compost and secure good drainage; four bulbs are 
enough for a five inch pot; set in a cool situation until 
the roots are started, after which they may be removed 
at pleasure. 
Double Mixed, of the most beautiful form and 
showy colors, extremely beautiful for cutting. EacA*3 
cents; per dozen, 20 cents; per 100, $1.00.
