H. Ambiguum hybrids. This is a good strain of near white Amaryllis which 
we have raised by pollinating hybrid Amaryllis with Ambiguum. Then the best

strain is quite hardy, good growers and have white flowers, with pink markings,

H. Diener’s Posthumous Hybrids. These are Diener’s latest, grown from seed 
of his own crossings and planting. They are Equestre type and have longer and 
more pointed petals. We do not entirely agree with the claim for 16” flowers as 
12” flowers is the largest we have seen. Since this strain often gives 5 or 6 flowers 
in an umbel one might get flowers 12” or over by removing all but three buds in 
an umbel. Colors are from nearly white to pink, scarlet and red. But no selection 
is possible as the bulbs are mixed. Large bulbs, $1.50. Extra large, 3’’ or over, $2.50

with lines of pink. Very sweet fragrance. Rare. These Costa Rican natives were 
brought to California before 1875. $3.00. 
H. johnsonii. This old hybrid is one most often seen in southern gardens 
and is a favorite for potting. The rich deep red flowers, with broad, contrasting 
white band through the center of each petal, stand out in the garden. It is one of 
the hardiest, easiest to grow and most rapid in increase. 40c, Extra large, 50c. 
Jumbo bulbs, 60c.

narrow pink line on border, flushed and lined fie 
pink in throat. Very fragrant. Sturdy grower
