3 ALSTROEMERIA BEAUTY 4 
Great sheafs of blossoms in wide range of colorings. Though 
called Lilies, they really belong to the Amaryllis family. They 
grow from masses of brittle, tuberous roots, and at old 
Orchard, seem to be pretty much winter hardy. We give 
them a mulching of straw in late autumn, removing part of 
the straw in spring, but leaving the rest about the roots 
through the summer to give the cool soil in which they de- 
light. So handled the plantings get larger and finer each 
year, and when the Alstroemerias are in bloom, there is 
nothing in the Nursery more decorative, more gorgeous. In 
very cold regions the roots can be dug in autumn and cellar- 
stored over winter in sand, but that is not necessary here in 
New Jersey. Alstroemeria grows well from seed ‘‘kt’” culture, 
often giving a few blossoms first year. Sometimes, though, 
the seed lies over to the second spring before germinating.

flowers, soft yellow to \\
