3 AMARYLLIS 4 
_Amaryllis is a name of horticultural] Memories, stil] 
given by gardeners to several diverse but allied bulb groups, 
alike at least in that they are all of most satisfactory 
flowering beauty. 
AMARYLLIS FORMOSIS- 
SIMA — ecbk (1-2) 16. An 
Amaryllis for the open gar- 
den. Within two weeks 
after spring planting of it 
the immense, fantastically 
formed blossoms, velvety 
crimson all gold-glinting 
with pollen dust, will be 
appearing. In autumn, dig 
and store in fashion of 
Gladiolus. May also be 
forced for late winter flow- 
ers. Sometimes it is called 
Mexican Fire Lily, or Ja- 
cobean Lily, but botanically 
it is Sprekelia. Illustrated

each 20c; 3 for 55c; 6 for 
$1.00; 20 for $3.00).

from the large succulent seeds, and makes 
a delightful window or porch plant. As 
far north as Philadelphia it will usually 
winter in the open garden, is indeed safe

AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 

It is rarely the long-planned enjoyments, but 
rather the sum of varied and unexpected little hap- 
pinesses, that make up pleasant living. The sky-bring- 
ing of a Gentian, a winter Dandelion against a 
wall, sweet, piercing sound-thrills of a whistling 
Cardinal, trill of a Song-sparrow outside the win- 
dow, sunset on snow, flame of an autumn Maple, 
curling crests of salt waves, these balance a thou- 
sand disappointments. Earth yields its treasures to 
those who will see them.
