ALSTROEMERIA 
Alstroemeria, The Lily of Peru, is a gloriously beai tif ul 
cousin of Amaryllis, a tuberous rooted perennial for year- 
around garden growing. It makes a gorgeous color show¬ 
ing over a period of two months or more, June and July, 
spectacular in mass, lovely in the individual flower. At 
Old Orchard we find Alstroemeria to be fully hardy. We 
have had Alstroemeria aurantiaca right out in the open 
nursery for many years, without losing plants, and while 
we have not had Alstroemeria chilensis as long, it seems 
to have come through this past hard winter without loss. 
We spread straw about the roots in spring, this chiefly to 
give them the low soil temperatures in which they delight, 
but it also serves in some degree as a winter protection, 
all that is needed at Philadelphia. In more exposed locations 
further north, a covering of straw or leaves in late autumn 
would probably be desirable. Delivery in early November. 
Plant at once upon receipt, and handle the tuberous roots 
with care, for they are brittle. 
ALSTROEMERIA AURANTICA—Great clusters of blos¬ 
soms, soft yellow to rich orange, upper petals splashed 
with carmine. Long in bloom. 25 inches. 3 for 65c; 10 
for $1.90; 25 for $4.50. 
ALSTROEMERIA CHILENSIS—Here the flowers are typi¬ 
cally rose, but vary much, from pure pinks, or those with 
hint of orange, to others close to red, 3 for 70c; 10 for 
12.00; 26 for $4.75.
