ea. 3 for $7.25. 344” or over $3.50 ea. Note. The 2!4” bulbs usually produce one or

red, pink or rose. The markings are usually light and the effect is that of near white 
flowers. Pure whites are developed by selection of seedlings of these. 80c, 3 for $2.25.

A. American Hybrids, Assorted 
colors. These are from a variety of 
sources. Blooming sizes, 50c ea. Large 
bulbs, 3” or more, 75c ea. 
A. Rutila Hybrids. This Cali- 
fornia strain I have so named because 
by the shape of the bulb, the forma- 
tion of stolons and by other characters 
I believe it was developed from the 
species Rutila. The history of the 
strain is unknown to me. These 
hybrids are nearly all of one color,— 
red with a white throat and green 
tinted keel. 
This is as vigorous as any strain 
I have seen and seems ideal for land- 
scape use. The flowers are not of the 
Leopoldi type and are not of exhibi- 
tion quality. But for a bright splash 
of color in the garden they are excel- 
lent and the equal height of the scapes 
with flowers nearly all the same color 
A. SELECT STRAINS adds to their landscape value. They 
multiply rapidly and soon form large clumps. The bulbs grow to an immense size, 
sometimes 4” in diameter or over. 
Being so hardy and vigorous I suggest they would be a good type to plant outside 
on the border line of Amaryllis hardiness as in Okla., Ark., N. Carolina, etc. But plant 
there as we advise in the culture directions for those locations, covered 4” and mulched 
in winter. 
Bulbs 24%” to 3” 50c ea. 3” to 4” diam. 75c ea. 
A. Diener’s Posthumous Hybrids. These are Diener’s latest, grown from his own 
seed and planted by him. Claims were made for gigantic flowers but we find them 
little larger than Select Strains and not as desirable. They are Equestre type and as 
many umbels will have from 5 to 8 flowers (from large bulbs) it may be that by 
disbudding, leaving only about two to develop, they might attain the 12” to 16” diameter 
claimed. Assorted colors only. Large bulbs, $2.50.
