AMARYLLIS 
S. & W. Co.’s Giant Hybrids 
Few, if any, of the bulbous plants give the 
amateur greater pleasure for the window- 
garden than these giant-flowering Amaryllis 
that are so easily managed. Our strain of 
bulbs produces vigorous stems with from four 
to six blooms of the most perfect form, rang¬ 
ing in color from pure white grounds with 
varied markings of rose, red, and crimson, to 
the richest self colors, such as scarlet, crimson, 
bright red, cherry, and almost maroon. Pot 
up bulbs, as soon as received, in good garden 
loam, enriched with a handful of bone fer¬ 
tilizer; water well and store in a dark place 
in a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees for four 
weeks until well rooted, then bring to light. 
Put in a sunny window and give water regu¬ 
larly. Bulbs potted up during October and 
November may be had in bloom in March. 
After they are through blooming, the pots 
may be set outdoors to allow the foliage to 
die down; they should be left in the pots and 
brought into the house in November to start 
for the next season.

EREMURUS 
This noble and rare bulbous plant from 
Turkestan is one of the choicest subjects for 
the permanent hardy border. It thrives best 
in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, 
and prefers a deep sandy loam to which has 
been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted 
cow manure. A covering of 4 to 5 inches of 
leaves or litter will be beneficial and will save 
the young shoots, which start early, and are 
liable to be damaged by late frosts. It pro¬ 
duces a tall, majestic flower-stalk which rises 
from a crowded tuft of narrow leaves and is 
crowned by a flower-spike 2 to 3 feet long, 
composed of closely set, bell-shaped flowers 
which are quite star-like in effect.
