GIANT DUTCH 
AMARYLLIS 
No potted plant will attract more attention or give 
both the amateur and professional grower more pleas- 
ure than to see one of our Giant Dutch Hybrid Ama- 
ryllis unfold its gigantic blooms. We have thoroughly 
tested them during the last 2 years and have found 
them so far superior to any other strain that we recom- 
mend them to you as best. They may seem expensive 
when compared in price to the many cheaper strains 
offered, but we know you will find them well worth 
the difference. All colors offered, except the white 
one, which is a little smaller, produce blooms 6 to 8 
inches across and sometimes larger. We have seen 4 
and 5 blooms on a 2 foot stem giving a floral display 
hard to believe.
