prettier, being pure white with long petals. It may be grown in the north 
easily, like Ismene, by the Gladiolus method. $6.00 each. Top size, $7.50. 
Haemanthus, Very rare amaryllids, altho of relatively easy culture and hav- 
ing the qualities of beauty and individuality that should commend them and 
encourage you to try them. Soil should be made acid by adding peat or leaf mold. 
H. coccineus. Blood Lily. The rather flat bulb sends up an attractive red- 
mottled flower scape in August to September, topped by an umbel of many 
small, closely spaced, red flowers, 4” across. There may be 50 or more flowers 
in an umbel. Later two or three wide leaves appear. The leaves die in the 
spring. The bulbs should then receive no water until August. Plant where water 
can be withheld. Easily grown outside in the south in full sun, sandy soil. In 
the north grow in pots. Delivery of dormant bulbs in June. Plant at once and 
save roots. $1.00. Extra large bulbs, $1.50. 
H. multiflorus. Exceedingly rare and of rich exotic beauty. An umbel of its 
red flowers may exceed a foot in diameter from a large well established bulb. 
It is reported to sell for $25 each when in bloom in N. Y. flower shops. The 
plant is entirely different in appearance from the preceding species, having a 
stem-like neck when in growth, many very attractive leaves and flowers in 
spring before foliage appears. It is recommended to grow in pots everywhere. 
Place in cool shade of a tree. Soil composed largely of oakleaf mould and sandy 
loam from beneath oak trees is ideal potting soil. Water very little until growth 
begins, then increase until plentifully at near mature growth. Easy to grow if 
kept free of mealy bug and Narcissus fly. Delivery about March. Prices $5.00. 
Our largest bulbs, $6.50. 
H. sp. We believe this is H. Lindenii, but not sure. The leaves are about 
10”long and nearly or quite evergreen. The umbel, appearing in late summer to 
fall, contains about 100 small scarlet flowers, followed by fruits that turn red 
and are very ornamental. Altho this species lacks the gorgeous beauty of multi- 
florus and Katherinae, it is very attractive in foliage, flower and fruit and is 
very unusual. It thrives under variable and even unfavorable conditions.

Hippeastrum or Amaryllis. These have always been popularly called Ama- 
ryllis but many have used the botanical name Hippeastrum. Recent botanical 
authorities have rearranged the nomenclature. Amaryllis belladonna is now 
Callicore rosea and Hippeastrums are now Amaryllis, in both popular and 
secientific language. After this spring we shall list these according to the latest 
nomenclature. 
Amaryllis have always been the most popular bulbs for pot growing. The 
large, wide-open flowers are in vivid tones of red, scarlet, pink and almost 
white. They are cheerful colors for winter flowers in the house. A window of 
Amaryllis and its near relative Sprekelia formosissima will cheer the family 
on a dreary Feb. or March day. The first hybrid, Johnsoni, is still one of the
