AMARYLLIS 
Few plants compare with 
Amaryllis for window gardening, 
the foliage is so attractive and the 
flowers so huge, showy, varying 
in color from deep crimson to 
orange-scarlet, and light pink to 
almost pure white, many inter¬ 
estingly striped and marked, 
three to six flowers to a stalk 
and from one to three stalks to a 
single plant. 
Pot the Bulbs as soon as re¬ 
ceived, the pot a couple of inches 
larger than the Bulb. Any good 
garden soil will do, but if you 
the sacked lily of china can get it easily use two parts 
fibrous loam with one part well rotted cow manure and a little sand. Water sparingly until plant is 
in leaf then give plenty of water. In Summer plunge pot and all in border in full sunshine. In Aut¬ 
umn, after its growth has been checked by frosty weather, store in a cool cellar, but look them over 
now and again, and when one is showing new life bring it to the light, watering occasionally 
with liquid cow manure. The Bulbs we offer are all very choice. 
GIANTS' A1GBERTH-White to Deep Crimson. Immensely large flowers, 
(Page 43) borne in an umble at top of a strong scape. Colors range from white to deep,rich crimson, 
While in an emergency it would answer, the flowers were not like the genuine Romans,being in real¬ 
ity the regular Dutch Hyacinth, the bloom simply earlier, but not so early, and smaller This 
year France has promised to permit the exportation of a certain limited number of real Roman Hya¬ 
cinths and we know our friends will be as pleased to receive them as we are to offer them. 
The French, or as it was originally, Italian, Roman Hyacinth is a single flower, with smaller but 
exceedingly graceful bells, in narrow, more open truss. They are the earliest Hyacinths to bloom 
and are for growing in the house or greenhouse in pots, pans, dishes of water or Hyacinth glasses, 
and every Bulb flowers. In pots they can he set very close, only half an inch between the bulbs if 
you wish and seven or eight in a 7 inch pot. Bring one pot or pan to the light at a time and you can 
have a delightful succession of bloom from November to April, and a single pan, or dish will per¬ 
fume the entire room as they are especially fragrant. 
I . Colors are White, Blue, Pink.

Narcissus ©plemtaStis, or Joss Flower

are grown for us in China, come 
to Lapark in the native baskets

growing almost as quickly as 
you place them in a bowl or 
saucer, on a few pebbles, 
in water, and grow very rapidly, 
attaining a height of Is to 24 
inches, and blooming in from a 
month to six weeks. The flow¬ 
ers are pure, silvery white with 
golden centers, borne in clusters, 
on tall, strong stalks, several 
stalks to a Bulb. They are very 
fragrant, and the strange, subtle,

tire house. We send very large,
