HENDERSON’S NEW GIANT AMARYLLIS 
These magnificent new creations, Henderson’s New Giant Amaryllis, 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 September to March , 
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; 
$5.00 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.
