Clivia 
the aristocrats of the amaryllis 
family and always invite admiration when in 
bloom. Because they thrive best in dense 
shade thev are ideal as house plants in the 
winter when they will flower indoors. They 
will withstand eight degrees of frost and be- 
low that for several degrees the foliage will 
be damaged but the plants will recover. As 
both the leaves and roots are very long lived 
they should be grown in a rich, heavy soil. 
Place the plants in as small a pot as possible 
as they bloom best when  rootbound. Do 
not be alarmed if the roots are exposed in 
the pots. Place in a larger pot only when the 
plant is pushed out of the pot or if the 
pot is broken. Apply liquid manure about 
every three months. Delivery anytime.
