Giant American 
HYBRID AMARYLLIS 
Lovely colors in shades of red and 
stripes. Use good potting soil. Plant 
in pots 2 inches more in diameter 
than the bulbs; one-third of the bulb 
should be left above the top of the 
soil. Until growth starts they need 
very little water, but they are heavy 
feeders and when roots start, liquid 
fertilizer or some other top dressing 
may be used. After blooming, bulbs 
should be dried off gradually and 
stored. Repot the following year. We 
offer fine large sure-to-bloom bulbs. 
25c each.

Special attention is called to the rare and 
beautiful bulbous plant producing freely
