MISCELLANEOUS BULBS 

Amaryllis 
AMARYLLIS HYBRIDS 
Nothing will give the amateur greater pleasure 
than Amaryllis for growmg in the house as 
well as in the garden. These giant-flowering 
bulbs produce a magnificent blossom with the 
least possible care and trouble. Planted in a 
pot in the early winter, they will bloom in about 
six to eight weeks. Bulbs may be kept dormant 
and planted a week or ten days apart, so as to 
produce a 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 Gladiolus. The bulbs throw a 
vigorous stem with four to six gigantic blooms, 
ranging in color from pure white with varied 
markings of rose, red and crimson to the richest 
self colors such as scarlet, crimson and bright 
red. From November until April we can supply
