Michell’s Summer-Flowering Bulbs 
Amaryllis 
CuLturat Directions. There are few bulbs which will give the 
amateur gardener (or even the professional) more for his money or 
time than the Amaryllis. 
Place the bulbs, when they are procurable (usually from fall until 
spring), In pots 4 to 6 inches or more in diameter, and cover only to 
the shoulder of the bulb, leaving the neck protruding. Use a rich 
sandy loam, mixed with some bonemeal or sheep manure. Water 
sparingly at first, but increase as the growth increases. A temperature 
of from 50 to 60 degrees i is the most suitable. The flower-spikes, often 
3 to a bulb, will develop quickly, and each bears several of the im- 
mense, beautifully colored, lily-ltke flowers. 
After blooming, it takes ‘the foliage a considerable time to complete 
its growth, and the plants should be well cared for during that period, 
to insure next year’s blooming. Dry off gradually and after the leaves 
turn yellow, keep the pots in a cool and dark place for about 4 or 
5 months, when they can be started again as described above.
