One of the finest strains of Amaryllis we have ever seen, raised by eminent 
growers whose stock and hybridization for many years we have purchased 
in its entirety. Flowers areimmense, borne as a rule four to a stem, in an amaz- 
ing and beautiful range of colors, blended, splashed and striped in a manner 
not seen in other strains.

ACHIMENES 
This is closely related to the Gloxinia. Plant 6 to 7 bulbs in a 5-inch pot, or 
9 to 10 in a 6-inch pot. The soil used for potting should be rich in humus and 
of an open, porous nature, allowing perfect drainage. A good mixture to use is 
equa! parts ofloam, leaf mold and sand. About one-third of the depth of the pots 
or pans should be occupied with drainage. After the young growth appears, great 
care should be taken to keep the soil moist, for a single severe drying will ruin 
the plant. Blooming time 8 to 10 weeks after planting.

BEGONIAS 
Tuberous-Rooted 
Every florist should grow some of these bulbs, as they make showy plants that 
find ready sales in the spring and summer. Use 4-inch pots and shift later to 
5 and 6-inch pots iflarger plants are wanted. A compost of one part rotted cow 
manure to two parts loam and one part leaf mold will give good results. Water 
sparingly until growthis started. They like a 55-58 degree temperature at night.

MONTBRETIAS 
They are highly valued for cut flowers. Our mixture contains many bright 
shades of yellow, salmon, orange, and scarlet. They do bestin a light loamy soil 
enriched with leaf mould and a little lime, no manure. Where the ground freezes 
deeply in the winter, they can be treated as gladioli. But in localities where the 
ground does not freeze deeply, the usual winter protection may be given, and 
they will multiply. Doz. 100 1000
