Giant Hybrid 
AMARYLLIS 
These are among the most sensational of the 
entire plant kingdom, the flowers often attain- 
ing the amazing diameter of 9 to 10 inches. 
The immense flowers are produced in clusters 
of 2 to 5, on thick stalks, and are of model 
form, heavy texture, with wonderful brilliancy 
and range of color, from pure white ground, 
marked with rose and crimson shades, to daz- 
zling scarlet, crimson, maroon and rose carmine 
self colors, in mixture. Also with faint stripes, 
separately. 
Extra large bulbs, each $1.00; 3 for $2.75;

Plant Amaryllis in rich soil with sunny exposure, 
with neck of bulb just above the surface. (Bulbs 
planted deep will not bloom). They soon make 
large clumps. For pot culture, use a 7- or 8-inch 
pot, with a light, friable rich soil mixture. Keep 
in a cool shady place until roots develop, then 
remové to more sunny exposure, or to living room 
window, if desired for indoor culture.
