AACHIMENES 
Until a few years ago we thought that these charming little summer 
flowering bulbs could be cultivated only in greenhouses. We have 
recently learned, however, that they may be successfully grown out- 
doors which materially reduces their cost as well as increases their 
usefulness. They love light shade and a reasonable amount of moisture. 
In fact, they respond perfectly to treatment given Tuberous Begonias. 
They make charming beds of flowers where because of shade, flowers 
heretofore could not be grown successfully. In window boxes, in pots 
in the house, or conservatory, they are a constant joy. 
Culture. Start the small tubers into growth any time from January 15 
on. Use fibrous soil containing about 20% leafmold into which is mixed 
a teaspoonful of Wayside Gardens Plant Food for each 5” pot. Avoid 
chemical fertilizers. Bulbs or tubers should be placed horizontally two 
inches apart and covered one inch. Place pot or flat in sunny window. 
Water frequently. Transplant from flat to bed outdoors after danger 
of frost is past. Space four inches apart outdoors, or grow six roots 
in 5” pot for indoor use. Dig in fall after first frost and store tubers 
over winter in cold cellar same as Glads.

AMARYLLIS, HIPPEASTRUM HYBRIDS 
There is nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasure for growing 
in the house as well as in the garden. These giant-flowering Amaryllis 
produce a magnificent blossom with the least possible care and trouble. 
Planted in a pot in the fall they will bloom about six or eight weeks 
after planting. Bulbs may be kept dormant and planted a week or ten 
days apart so that you will have succession of bloom throughout the 
entire winter. In the garden they may be planted during March, April 
and May, depending upon locality, and they will bloom during June and 
July as easily as Gladioli. The bulbs throw a vigorous stem with 4 to 6 
gigantic blooms, ranging in color from pure white grounds with varied 
markings of rose, red and crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, 
crimson and bright red. We can supply from November until April, 
bulbs guaranteed to bloom. 
Garden Hybrids Each 70c, Doz. $7.00 
These bulbs have been grown for garden use and summer flowering.

open flowers of superb form and color. They will make beautiful 
splashes of color in the garden. 
California Hybrids 
This is a fine strain of large flowered California grown Amaryllis 
Hybrids. The bulbs when potted from January to May will flower freely 
indoors. They may also be grown in the garden where they do beauti-

winter to be planted the following spring. They last indefinitely.

veloping an _umbe! of large, lily-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, of 
a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy. Cover crown 
about 4 inches.
