ALSTROMERIA 
Plants from South America, useful for cutting and 
attractive in the garden; belonging to the Am- 
aryllis family and characterized by masses of thick- 
ish or tuberous roots attached to a crown from 
which arise leafy stems bearing clusters of inter- 
esting and colorful flowers. Most varieties bloom 
in the spring and flourish out of doors in mild cli- 
mates. Indoors they grow readily in pots or pans. 
They do best in partial shade in a sandy loam with 
plenty of humus. Good drainage is essential. As 
the thick fleshy roots are easily damaged in lifting, 
it is best to leave the plants undisturbed. After 
flowering in the spring, water should be gradually 
withdrawn as the plant ripens and very little given 
until growth starts again in the fall.
