Vallota 
Purpurea (Scarborough Lily) Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This very beautiful member of the Amaryllis family was discovered by 
Pierre Vallot in South Africa in the year of 1774. It has been known 
since that time by the following names: Cyrtanthus Purpurea, Amaryllis 
purpurea, Speciosa, Uata, Crinum Speciosum and Vallota Elata. It is 
still misnamed because the flowers are a beautiful fiery red and not 
purple. In localities where mild frosts occur, plant it 4 to 6 inches 
deep, or 8 to 9 inches deep in colder sections, cover well, and it will 
winter over nicely, is quite tolerant to deep planting. As a house plant 
it is excellent in as well as out of bloom. In fact, it must be so, other- 
wise it would not have remained so popular for so long a time.
