(BULBS AND PLANTS—Continued) 
Our terms are net cash in advance. We do all our 
own bookkeeping, typing, secretarial work, stenography, 
catalogueing, packing, mailing, etc., besides a goodly 
part of the weeding, digging, planting and fertilizing on 
our Farm. Therefore we respectfully request customers 
to note this policy, as it is the only one possible for us 
in the limited field that we have chosen, and under the 
circumstances of increasing labor, material, fertilizer and 
other business costs of the last two or three years. We 
have made our prices as low as possible for the small 
quantities that constitute the average orders. Carrying 
charges extra in all cases. Ten per cent will cover this 
item and we will refund any surplus. Otherwise we will 
ship express collect. 
We guarantee satisfaction. 
HYBRID AMARYLLIS 
“An Amaryllis in every home, and two or three in 
most’’, is not a far-fetched vision with the increasing 
popularity of these flowers in the last 10 years; garden 
clubs, flower show managements, public conservatories, 
commercial greenhouse men, and amateurs in all walks 
of life are turning to the Amaryllis for colorful, early 
spring bloom. 
We have one of the best commercial collections of 
the bulbs in the United States and have a consistent 
record of blue ribbons and first class certificates at var¬ 
ious flower shows, including shows of the American 
Amaryllis Society and the Central Florida Exposition. 
At the Southeastern Regional Amaryllis Show of the 
A.A.S. held March 23-24, 1938 in Orlando, Fla., we 
were awarded second place for total blue ribbons. 
This year (1938) we are privileged to be able to 
offer for the first time a number of separate named 
varieties of hybrid Amaryllis, which are described on a 
special sheet, available on request. Prices on these 
bulbs range from $1.00 upwards, for small to medium 
size “propagated” bulbs. The new methods of vegeta¬ 
tive propagation of hybrid Amaryllis have been in use so 
few years that it is not yet possible to offer blooming 
sized bulbs of the named varieties, in most cases. How¬ 
ever, with good culture these bulbs can be brought to 
blooming size in at least two seasons. We invite all in¬ 
terested Amaryllis growers to be the first in their vicinity 
to grow the new named varieties. 
Amaryllis seeds: $1.00 per 100, standard grade; 5c 
each, fancy stock. 
We offer three grades of our seedling bulbs, as below: 
Mixed colors, strong bulbs, of our excellent forcing 
strain, 2)4 in. diameter and up, 35c each; $30.00 per 
100. These are blooming size. 
Selected bulbs, blooming size, regardless of diameter, 
and all above 2 inches; $1.00 each. These are picked 
out from thousands in bloom for good types and colors. 
They are above the average of ordinary mixed Amaryllis 
in shape and quality of flower and are of distinct beauty 
and decorative value. 
Exhibition bulbs: as available, we offer flowering size 
bulbs of exhibition quality, fancy stock, and better than 
98% of the average run of hybrid Amaryllis. These 
are mostly from carefully checked crossings from our 
finest breeding stock. Price $5.00 and $10.00 each. 
Not more than one or two bulbs out of a thousand is 
good enough to make this grade. We propagate most 
of them vegetatively, and until the propagations grow 
to size will have very few on hand. Small propagated 
bulbs, ^ to 1)4 in. diameter from this stock, $1.00 
each, and up. Descriptions furnished on request. 
Pure whites of hybrid Amaryllis are very rare, and 
dark wine reds likewise. Salmon pinks are also par-
