1951 Price List —LUDWIG STRAIN DUTCH HYBRID AMARYLLIS 
Imported and Sold By Wyndham Hayward, LAKEMONT GARDEN S, Winter Park, Florida 
The Ludwig Strain of Dutch Hybrid Amaryllis, named va- 
rieties and separate shades bulbs, is almost too well known and 
appreciated in the United States and Europe to need extensive 
description and illustration. This price list will replace our 
usual catalogue this season because of high printing costs. 
Certain of the Ludwig varieties, as Pink Favorite, Pink Per- 
fection, Salmon Joy, Ludwig’s Scarlet, Halley, White Giant, 
Snow Queen, American Express, Fantasy, Shakespeare, etc., 
are now modern classics of the Amaryllis world, and household 
words among Amaryllis fans. 
The Ludwig named varieties, propagated vegetatively in 
Holland by the Luyten cuttage method, when well grown are 
suitable for standing in show competition with any Amaryllis. 
The separate shades bulbs are seedlings grown every year from 
the best seed parents in the Ludwig greenhouses in Holland, 
and are excellent for show purposes, and for breeding stock 
when it is desired to obtain the best possible material for the 
least expense. 
Lakemont Gardens has been offering Ludwig Amaryllis for 
several seasons, with notable success in our retail growth and 
in our forcing of the bulbs for exhibition purposes. We look 
for the largest business in our 20-year history as Amaryllis 
specialists with the excellent selection of types available this 
season. 
Because the Ludwig bulbs must travel 3,000 miles over the 
North Atlantic in midwinter, and will be grown under so many 
different conditions by various inexperienced growers, we do 
not guarantee these bulbs to produce exhibition type flowers 
the first season. We do promise that these bulbs, well grown, 
will produce flowers which will stand the test of top competition 
in the Amaryllis field. Copies of our 1949-50 Amaryllis cata- 
logue, with helpful cultural data and other information are still 
available gratis. 
Only the expert greenhouse man can force these Dutch 
Amaryllis at their best the first season, using warmth above 
and bottom heat with proper moisture control. But so thrifty 
are the bulbs that in most cases the amateur and beginner 
will be able to bloom them in satisfactory manner using the 
fundamental rules of good Amaryllis culture, without special 
difficulty. 
We expect to forward our first order of the 1951-52 season 
to Holland for the Ludwig bulbs late in October or early Novem- 
ber. Early response to this invitation to enjoy the beauties of 
Ludwig Amaryllis is essential to be sure of obtaining the most 
desirable varieties. Subsequent orders will be sent to Holland 
the first of Deeember, January and possibly February. By the 
first of December a number of the named varieties are usually 
sold out. We pack the bulbs with the greatest of care, and last 
winter, a severe one all over America, not a single shipment 
was reported damaged by frost. 
Postage or express extra on all orders, and may be paid 
on receipt of the goods in the case of packages sent parcel 
post. Express shipments will be sent collect. 
Certain varieties are not available this year because of propa- 
gation requirements in Holland, including Caruso, Fire King, 
Invincible, Liberator, Mona Lisa, Pink Favorite, Pink Perfection, 
Orange Wonder. The following varieties have been superseded -° 
on the Ludwig list by improved types and are not offered this 
year: Dutch Gold, Ernst Ludwig, Red Guard, Satan and Scar- 
let Leader.
