ACHIMENES 
Amaryllis 
_AMARYLLIS_ 
S. & }V. 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 January, 
February, and March may be had in bloom 
in 6 to 8 weeks. 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. 
Amaryllis may also be grown in the garden; 
plant from mid-May on, and lift the bulbs 
in October. Jumbo bulbs, 65 cts. each, $6 for 
10, $50 per 100.

BEGONIAS 
TUBEROUS-ROOTED 
Splendid for shady borders or beds 
Provide a pan or box, and cover the bottom 
with one inch of sphagnum moss, placing the 
bulb on top and covering with another layer 
of sphagnum moss. They should be kept 
moist and moderately warm. As soon as roots 
appear, plant in pots in a light soil, one inch 
below the surface, and water cautiously until 
the plant has shown growth, then increase the 
amount. Good drainage is essential. Or the 
bulbs may be planted outdoors 8 inches apart 
in the latitude of New York about the middle 
of May. We offer large bulbs 1 inches and up. 
These beautiful subjects are especially 
valuable for planting in moist shaded areas, 
where they do well. 
Bulbs may be lifted in autumn, stored in 
a cool damp place over winter, for planting 
the following year.

They grow well in the shade. You can get 
them to flower earlier in the summer if you
