Culture. They should have 
about 50% shade. The soil should 
be a rich sandy loam with good 
drainage and a great deal of hu- ALSTROEMERIA 
mus. This may be had from old 
rotted screened manure or leaf mould. Plant the cluster of tubers in the south 
from Sept. to Nov., with the crown 2” under the soil surface. When tops die af- 
ter flowering withhold water or dig and keep dry. It is better not to disturb them. 
In the south they start to grow in the fall and will require irrigation before rains 
come. 
They must have an abundance of water at all times when growing and good 
drainage. They are hardy as far north as Washington, D. C., and we have them 
reported hardy in a well protected situation, with winter mulch in New Jersey 
and Ohio. In the north they can be planted in the spring. Carefully lift in the 
fall and store in dry peat or sand, and keep very cool, They may also be grown 
in large pots. Please order early in fall, as it is hard to hold them back in this 
warm climate.
