Michell’s Summer-Flowering Bulbs 
Amaryllis 
CuttrurRAL Directions: There are few 
bulbs which will give the amateur gardener 
(or even the professional) more for his money 
or time than the Amaryllis. 
Place the bulbs, when they are procurable 
(usually from fall until spring), in pots 4 to 6 
inches or more in diameter, and cover only to 
the shoulder of the bulb, leaving the neck 
protruding. Use a rich sandy loam, mixed 
with some bonemeal or sheep-manure. Water 
sparingly at first but mcrease as the growth 
increases. A’ temperature of from 50 to 60 
degrees is the most suitable. The flower- 
spikes, often 3 to a bulb, will develop quickly, 
and each bears several of the immense, 
beautifully colored, lily-like flowers. 
After blooming, it takes the foliage a con- 
siderable time to complete its growth, and 
the plants should be well cared for during 
that period, to Insure next year’s blooming. 
Dry off gradually and after the leaves turn 
yellow, keep the pots in a cool and dark place 
for about 4 to 5 months, when they can be 
started again as described above.

These are grown for us by one of the lead- 
mg hybridizers. They are charming conserva- 
tory plants. Being of a tropical nature, they 
like a warm temperature. They do quite well 
“outdoors during the summer if planted in a 
shaded place. The foliage covers a wide 
range of colors, making a grand display. Bulbs 
should be started in moss with plenty of 
bottom heat. 
Ask for leaflet on their culture and care.
