placing them in a warm greenhouse or stove. The bulbs require 
a season of rest after the active time of growth, and should then 
be kept moderately dry. I find that the species of Amaryllis with 
large permanent roots, like the present, do not like to have the 
bulbs disturbed during the season of rest. It is very important 
to keep these roots in good condition, as they aid very materially 
in throwing the plant into a natural healthy growing state. If 
permanent roots are dried up, much injury is done to the bulb, 
as others must be formed before the plant can be got into growth 
again.— W. W.S.
