This is the giant flowered Amaryllis with 
strap-shaped leaves. The so-called ‘‘Red 
Amaryllis.”” They may be planted in full 
sun or light shade in Florida and Califor- 
nia or may be grown as house plants in 
the conservatory or window garden in the 
cold regions. Plant the bulb shallow, 
barely covering the neck when planted in 
the garden and with most of the bulb 
above the soil when potted. Use rich com- 
post and use liquid manure occasionally. 
Delivery throughout the year. 
*GIANT HYBRIDS. These hybrids are 
the result of many years careful breeding 
by a number of outstanding horticulturists 
throughout the world. They vary in color 
from almost pure white to shades of pink, 
searlet and red, often marked with beau- 
tiful stripes of darker color on light 
ground. They bear 4 to 6 huge flowers, 
varying in size from 6 to 10 inches across, 
and often delightfully fragrant. Large size 
bulbs will produce two or more flower 
stems at a time and most of them will 
bloom twice during a season. Offered in 
mixed colors only. Delivery throughout 
the year. Flowering size, 50c; large, 75c; 
jumbo, $1.00. 
SELECTED COLORS. We offer the fol- 
lowing selected colors in flowering size 
bulbs: solid red; red with white; white 
with red; near white. $1.00. 
GARFIELDII. This is a very superior 
strain of Hippeastrum which was sent out 
some time ago by the American Amaryllis 
Society as Hippicoris Garfieldii No. 13. 
Although the flowers are nearly as large 
as the Giant hybrids, it is much more 
graceful and is held on tall, thin stems. 
Color is brilliant scarlet with yellow mid- 
rib. Foliage is short and glossy and the 
bulbs increase well. Blooms freely over a 
long season. 50c each. Small bulbs that 
should flower within a year, 25e.

duced through the dormant bulb to a 
height of 12 in. Four to six flowers of ox- 
blood red are produced on a stem. They 
will form large clumps when undisturbed 
for a number of years. Plant 6 inches 
deep in full sun. Summer delivery. 20c.

in the summer. Culture same as gladio- 
lus. 50c doz.
