AMARVI.LIS VITTaTA 
AMARYLLIS (Hippeastrum). 
GIANT HYBRIDS OF VITTATA. These are unquestionably 
the most noble and showy section of the Amaryllidaceae. We 
have secured a fine collection from a moted hybridizer, all being 
exceptionally fine, many of them being unique in their beautiful 
coloring and markings. It would require much space to offer 
them with descriptions of the representative types so we confine 
ourselves to dividing them into two general classes, viz., red, 
variegated with white and white variegated with red. The red 
varies in tones from a brilliant fiery color to crimson, the variega¬ 
tion is sometimes a broad blaze of white in the centre, of each 
petal; again the ground color is white abundantly streaked with 
red or crimson. The bulbs were potted and are now in growing 
condition, they are large and should produce magnificent flowers 
next winter and spring following. The flower spikes are from 
2 to 3 feet high, the foliage is long and graceful. The flowers 
are borne in clusters, they are trumpet shaped, 8 to 10 inches 
across, of great substance and last in perfection a long time. 
I he plants should be allowed to rest during t he late summer and 
fall months then started into growth in the winter. (See cut.) 
Price, potted plants, $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz. 
ASPIDISTRA LUKIDA. 
One of the most useful “ foliage ” plants for the house or for 
porch decoration. It seems intended by nature for such purposes 
as it stands more neglect than any known living plant; because of 
its ability in that direction it has frequently been called. “ The 
Cast Iron Plant;” not a happy designation but a fitting one. It 
will thrive, in corners of a room where no other plant can be kept 
alive. 1 he variegated form, green with broad stripes of white, 
contrasts finely with other decorative foliage plants; the green 
variety is a rich, dark color and very popular.

mental foliage plant

symmetry. It is

cally as one of 
the oldest of the
