Br ious Nive: lowering Bulbs 
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 locality, 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.

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. 
puch of our success in growing such unfailingly fine plants is 
ue to it.
