Reports on Ludwig Amarylilis 
Reports from our Customers who purchased Ludwig Hybrid 
Amaryllis bulbs last season— 
San Antonio, Texas, May 5—“I am very proud to own some of these 
fine bulbs . . . I know you will want to hear how the bulbs turned out 
. .. the mignon hybrid ‘rutila’ was beautiful and I was very surprised at 
how long it remained without wilting or fading. I have been pleased 
that I have these bulbs to add to my collection. I know it would not 
have been possible without your help . . . of the Ludwig collection you 
sent two were particularly outstanding, the orange was a carbon copy 
of “Pink Favorite,’ perfect form, coloring and size. I am more than 
satisfied with the bulbs. I trust that you will have many more orders 
for this fine plant material.” 
LaFayette, La., May 23—“They (the Ludwig bulbs, White Giant and 
Scarlet Leader) arrived in good condition and all bloomed well. I was 
quite pleased with their general quality.” 
Houston, Texas, April 30—“I want to commend you on the fine 
bulbs which I received from you this winter and spring. Mona Lisa is 
now in bloom with 10 flowers on two scapes. It is a most delightful 
‘pink’ almost a Picardy gladiolus color. I think my Mona Lisa is the 
first of the Ludwig strain to be shown here.” 
Nashville, Tenn., May 9—“ ‘Pink Favorite’ was and is about the 
best Amaryllis ’ve ever seen . . . see kodachrome enclosed, which please 
keep . . . It’s somewhat darker than I expected, but a perfect, even-toned 
self. It’s a deep rose pink . . . you sent me three Ludwig bulbs under 
color labels (separate shades stock) . . . taking these with the ones I 
had from you last year, I am inclined to think that your Ludwig Hybrids 
under separate color label are probably the best buys currently available. 
They are not 100% as labeled, but they come nearer to it than other 
strains I have tried, even other named varieties—and you have a chance 
of getting one worth much more than you paid for it!”
