During the dark and dreary days of wnter 
allofus like a little live color inour homes. 
Acolorful plant serves this purpose best. 
Last year one of the Dutch bulb salesmen 
told us ofa superior strainof Amaryllis 
which flowered pure bright red blooms of 
large size and five to seven blooms to the 
bulb. We were franklya little dubious 
that we could get that many blooms from 
one bulb, so we decided to purchase a small 
quantity and bloom them ourselves to see 
what they really were like. Toouramaze- 
ment, some of the bulbs produced nine 
flowers, manyofthem seven, and allof 
them atleastfive. They were sixtoeight 
inches across and were long lasting. 
This year we are offering this Amaryllis 
toourcustomers. Thebulbsare the 
largest we have ever Seen, requiring a 
teninchpot. The bulbs will bloom six 
weeks after starting. Cultural instruct- 
ions will be furnished with eachorder. 
The variety is Amaryllis van Meuveran superiora andthe priceis $5.95 each 
postpaid. Shipment willbe made immediately uponreceiptoforder. Send your 
ordernow, so you can have blooms at the holiday season. 





Very cordially yours,
