Amaryllis 
AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 
There is nothing that will give the amateur greater pleasure for growing 
in the house as well as in the garden. These giant-flowering Amaryllis 
produce a magnificent blossom with the least possible care and trouble. 
Planted in a pot in the fall they will bloom about six or eight weeks 
after planting. Bulbs may be kept dormant and planted a week or ten 
days apart so that you will have succession of bloom throughout the 
entire winter. In the garden they may be planted during March, April 
and May, depending upon tocality, and they will bloom during June and 
July as easily as Gladioli. The bulbs throw a vigorous stem with 4 to 6 
gigantic blooms, ranging in color from pure white grounds with varied 
markings of rose, red and crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, 
crimson and bright red. We can supply from November until April, 
bulbs guaranteed to bloom.

winter to be planted the following spring. They last indefinitely.

Halli (Lycoris squamigera) Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00

when it ripens and disappears. About a month later, as if by magic, 
the flower stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 to 3 feet, 
developing an umbel of large, Lily-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, 
of a delicate lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy. Cover crown 
about 4 inches. 

Food for Thought as Well as for 
Your Flowers 
Why treat your flowers in a way you would openly resent if 
done to you? You wouldn’t put up with any old food that comes 
along, so to speak. For your children, you are no end fussy about 
being sure of their having enough, and the right vitamins. You 
are particular about a balanced diet. 
Plants, anything that grows in the soil, are exactly the same in 
their food needs as humans. 
There are plenty of the ‘’shot-in-the-arm’’ kinds of ready mixed 
fertilizers. But, they are mostly only stimulants. 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food. Not just a 
stimulant. 
They need one containing in right amounts, those things that 
make plenty of strong roots; produce good, sturdy stalks, thrifty 
foliage and an abundance of good sized blooms. 
That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we use at Wayside. 
Much of our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is 
due to it. 
We Learn from an English Gardener 
We are indebted to a noted English gardener for the Exclusive 
Plant Food we use in growing millions of plants of superior quality. 
Among other things, he said: 
“A lawn should not be treated like a hayfield, but like a permanent garden. 
Therefore, I object to chemical fertilizers for lawns. It is not the QUANTITY 
of grass cut from the lawn each week, but the DENSITY AND LUXUR- 
IANCE OF THE GRASS which produces the effect of walking over a thick 
velvet carpet that counts. If you want a thick lawn in which there is no 
room for weeds, it is essential that you use a properly balanced ORGANIC 
Plant Food—one that sinks deeply into the soil for the grass or plant roots to 
80 after. That is where the moisture is, and you will find it unnecessary to 
water so much in summer.”
