NERINE 
Very striking group of plants from South Africa 
belonging to the Amaryllis family. All bloom in 
late summer or fall, some with the foliage, others 
before it appears. All are easily grown indoors 
in pots, but can be grown in the open only in 
climates nearly free from frost. 
They do best in a rich sandy loam with plenty of 
humus. Water should be applied sparingly when
