Amaryllis in cultivation. Flowers are of enormous size, fine form, 
and of a great diversity of colors. They make splendid pot-plants 
for store sales, and when in bloom sell on sight at a good price. 
We offer mixed colors only. Doz. $4.00; 100, $30.00. 
Anemone (Ready in October) 
Excellent for cut-flowers and sells readily with any florist who 
has a store trade. On arrival of bulbs, soak them in lukewarm water 
for from 12 to 18 hours before planting. Use virgin soil that Is not 
heavy and which has been lightly mulched with peat moss. Plant in 
deep bulb-pans or flats, allowing about 2 inches each way; water 
sparingly until well established and carry over in a deep coldframe; 
bring into a 45° greenhouse about the middle of January and let 
them develop slowly. 
Do not attempt to force or over-water. Grown in this way they 
should flower the Iatter part of March or early in April.
