.y^Lscettamous BULBS an d ROOTS 
Amaryllis 
For growing in the house or conservatory, few plants produce as 
striking a display, with so little trouble, as Amaryllis. The bulbs 
should be potted in the fall, be kept rather dry all winter until 
growth starts in early spring, when they should be watered plenti¬ 
fully, fertilized, and lightly shaded. A few weeks, and they break 
into immense, Lily-like blooms of gorgeous color and form. 
Giant American Hybrids. We believe this selection is the best ob¬ 
tainable at the present time, and we know of nothing that will 
give the amateur greater pleasure for the window garden. They 
are of vigorous growth, free-flowering habit, and flowers are of 
enormous size. Ready November 1.

Anemone (Windflower) 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly useful as 
a decorative plant for house or garden, and fine for cutting. If 
planted outdoors in the fall, they must be well protected with leaves 
or other litter. They may also be planted in the spring in well- 
drained soil, and will flower during the summer, starting in May. 
When planted in pots, place 4 or 5 bulbs in a 5-inch pot, cover 
1 inch, and keep moderately cool; give but little water until growth 
begins.

Calla Lilies 
A group of plants very easily grown in the house or conservatory 
for winter flowering. They produce large, Lily-like blooms of waxy 
texture. The huge, bulbous roots should be planted in stiff soil, 
heavily enriched with well-rotted cattle manure, and given a warm 
temperature and abundance of water. They may be grown either 
in pots or in the bench. When planting allow the crown of root to 
protrude just above the soil.

Godfrey Everblooming White (Richardia Gadefroyana). This is a 
great improvement over the ordinary White Calla, especially for 
the amateur, being of even freer growth and much more florifer- 
ous over a longer season. The flowers, while a trifle smaller than 
the old-fashioned Calla, are of pure white.

should be covered about 1 inch. The corms retain their vitality 
for a long time and can be planted any time during the winter 
or spring. Treat same as other Callas.
