Habranthus. Formerly considered as a subgenus of Hippeastrum. When this genus 
was reorganized, most of the species were placed in Amaryllis and this subgenus became 
the genus Habranthus. Usually they have a one flowered scape. The culture is about the 
same as for Amaryllis advena as they are usually fall bloomers and winter growers. 
Habranthus brachyandrus. The long tubular flower is very striking in color, lavender 
pink with a deep purple throat and is quite large. They begin to flower in late summer 
and continue into the fall. Hence should be ordered early. 75c. 
H. robustus. Baker says the flower is rose red. It appears lavender pink to me. 25c 
ea. $2.00 per doz. 
Haemanthus. This south African genus of the Amaryllis family is rare in cultivation, 
therefore unusual. They are hardy only in almost frost free climates like So. Calif. and 
Florida, but are rare pot plants in the north. The soil must be well drained and should 
be composed of a mixture of loam, leaf mould and peat, with plenty of sand. The entire 
mixture should feel gritty. When in vigorous growth, the plants can use weak manure 
water or light, successive mulchings of manure. In our spring catalogs we list H. Kather- 
inae, which is very rare and unusual and most gorgeous in beauty. 
Haemanthus albiflos. Two or more rather stiff erect evergreen leaves. The small 
white flowers, 100 or more, are in a dense umbel. A rare and unusual plant from Holland, 
very pretty. $3.50 ea. 
H. coccineus. Blood Lily. This rare amaryllid usually produces two leaves, which 
lie almost flat on the ground. They grow all winter and die down in early summer. In
