RADIATA, like Squamigera, is a summer-flowering variety, 
but it is not hardy like Squamigera. It is, however, a beoutiful 
and very easily grown bulb for the house, providing the planting 
is done in August or very early in September. Grow it in a bowl 
with pebbles and water or in a pot with some moist earth. A few 
weeks after planting the flower spikes appear as if by magic. 
The flowers lost for several weeks and are as handsome os 
orchids. In the South the bulbs may be grown outside where 
they multiply rapidly. We positively do not guarantee these 
bulbs to bloom if planted later than September 10th. The bulbs 
are sent in early August. (Color illustration, page 43.)

^amigera (Amaryllis Halli) Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
Produces in early spring attractive green foliage which grows until July 
when it ripens and disappears. About a month later, as if by magic, 
the flower stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 to 3 feet, 
developing an umbel of large, Liy-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, 
of a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy; must be 
planted in fall. Cover crown about 4 inches.

This is indispensable in the garden for coior effect; flowers ore porcelain- 
blue; buds pink at opening. The plant grows from 1 to 2 feet high, bearing 
a panicle ef flowers about 1 inch long in short pendent clusters. It is 
splendid for the open border or for naturolizing along the woodlond path. 
Wo know of no other spring flower which does so well in deepest shade. 
It flowers from fhe time Daffodils are in bloom, continuing while the May¬

shady places. (Color illustration, page 44.)
