HENDERSON'S NEW GIANT AMARYLLIS 
These magnificent new creations produce some of the largest flowers known. 
They are seldom less than 6 Inches in diameter, and frequently 14 inches. As easy 
to grow as Iris or Gladiolus. I especially recommend them as substitutes for tulips 
in warm climates as they Increase in size and beauty each year. IMPORTANT: Do 
not confuse these Amaryllis with the familiar summer-blooming Amaryllis Belladona 
on which the foliage dies in summer. These new creations have both foliage and 
flowers at the same time. Plant in full sun. Colors are white, beautifully marked and 
striped with crimson; ruby-red, light and dark shades of pink, scarlet and a dark 
velvet red. After the bulbs are established they will bloom several times a year. 
The largest crop of flowers is borne in spring, about the same time the Darwin 
tulips are in bloom. Unequalled for garden use in the West. Plant any time. 
In form the flowers resemble gigantic lilies. For several years I have been 
hybridizing many varieties of this fine flower. The best obtainable stock has been 
secured from England, France and Germany, also the best of the Burbank strain, 
for this work. Several acres will be developed to this experiment during this next 
season. A new double-flowered form is under observation and also a yellow variety. 
Mixed colors, large blooming size bulbs are 75c each; $3.00 for six; $5.00 for 12; 
$30.00 for 100. Smaller bulbs, to ^ inch, $20.00 per 100; will bloom in 8 months. 
Prices on planting stock in quantity upon request. Selected colors at $1.00 each. 
Medium size bulbs, $3.00 per 12. Prepaid. 
The vehety red Aniaryllis Ilyh. that I purchased Jroni you Is a beauty. I am 
detighted with the W hite Queen Crinuni. It is quite similar lo a larqe Easier Lily.
