Amaryllis Species and Varieties 
AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA, LINN., (Am equestris) the Florida Red Amaryllis, 
found in old gardens and country dooryards, orange red with creamy yellow to 
greenish throat, very distinct form, 25c each, $2.50 per doz., for blooming size bulbs. 
AMARYLLIS JOHNSONII—oldest type of hybrid Amaryllis, a favorite for many 
years in old plantations over the mid-South, 50c each for blooming size bulbs. It 
is slow growing and takes some time to establish itself. 
AMARYLLIS RUTILA~—a light red to scarlet form of the dwarf species offered 
by Dutch greenhouse growers. Imported bulbs, $2.00 each. 
AMARYLLIS RUTILA VAR. FULGIDA, one of the finest pot bulbs in all the 
Amaryllis family, and a jewel for the hybridizer or the Amaryllis fan who -wants 
something smaller than the large hybrids. Found in old Florida gardens but 
becoming very scarce. Light rose-salmon color, with creamy throat. Illustrated 
elsewhere in this catalogue. Small seedling bulbs, $1.00 and $2.00. Largest 
available bulbs, blooming size, $3.00 and $5.00. We believe we have the only 
stock of this item available commercially, and hope to offer them at lower prices 
as soon as we can increase supplies. They seed abundantly and are good prospects 
for breeding dwarf type Amaryllis, 
AMARYLLIS ALBERTI-—the double form of Amaryllis belladonna, Linn, or it 
may be forms of A. reginae or A. rutila. It is a weak grower, difficult to handle in 
pots or in the garden, requiring constant attention to see that good drainage is 
maintained. The flower is full double with 25 or 30 or more petaloid fringes, 
bright orange scarlet, and makes an attractive cut flower. It is slow growing, tender 
and delicately constituted but there is always a demand for this item. Small 
bulbs, $1.00, larger $2.00.
