to dwell contentedly with you! 
Interesting! Strange! Exciting! These amaryllids look 
delicate and fragile, yet they’re amazingly easy-to- 
grow, and they’ll happily live indoors with you apart- 
ment-dwellers up north . . . or take joyously to orna- 
menting the garden in the deep south. Which really 
means that they dote on warmth, rewarding you well 
for just a little care and attention, adding to your rep- 
utation for acquiring the unusual and distinctive, the 
while. So again, we feel not a little pride in presenting 
such an array of these Amaryllids for your selection 
and delight!

Crinum 
Here’s a pot plant that will fill your rooms with delicious fragrance 
and spectacular beauty! Noted for its lush foliage and the abund- 
ance of its large, lily-like flowers (Crinum is the Greek name for 
lily, you remember) you'll find it an accent of real distinction any- 
where! 
Sprekelia 
Brilliant, large, showy, deep 
scarlet flowers borne on hollow 
scapes towering two feet high 
distinguish this orchid-like Am- 
aryllid. Definitely an unusual, 
but excellent pot-plant as it rel- 
ishes the warmth. The Sprekelia 
also becomes important to ar- 
resting landscaping effects in the 
deep South, where it flourishes 
_ outdoors. 
Many of the hybrids we present are exceptidnally - 
hardy and will do well outdoors as far north as New 
York City, or Southern Ohio if planted deep, or left 
in pots and sunk well into the ground. The exquisite 
flowers are snow white, or pink, the latter in a wide 
range of enticing shades, and there are 6 to 12 of 
these beautiful blooms to the umbel! Stout, 2-foot tall 
stems support them gracefully. They respond to the 
same culture as the Amaryllis, increase freely by bulb- 
lets, grow easily, establishing themselves quickly, and 
are very free flowering! 
It requires the same culture 
as any Amaryllis, and as is 
our custom, easy-to-follow 
cultural instructions and 
suggestions accompany your iy Mie. Choose from these NAME HYBRIDS ....
