From War-Stricken Europe 
QUEEN OF WINTER¬ 
FLOWERING BULBS 
Six years ago this summer, and three years before the 
outbreak of the world war, while traveling through 
Europe, our President, Robert Pyle, had the privilege of 
inspecting many establishments in which were growing 
some of the choicest plant collections in the world. Among 
the multitude of noteworthy plant novelties were these 
wonderful Amaryllis, mammoth in size, colors glorified to 
intensity, impressive beyond description. Our friend, E. 
Gurney Hill, of Richmond, Indiana, a year later succeeded 
in securing some valuable seed from this wonderful strain 
which, through the U. S. A. Department of Agriculture, 
came into our hands. We grew them into blooming size— 
a limited number to be sure, varied most interestingly as to 
color combination, but every one ready to produce for you 
on each stem 2 to 4 huge flowers 8 to 12 inches across and 
of such brilliant colors as both to dazzle and delight you.
