All the way from Hillegom, Holland to You (via the Barnes, of 
course) come these remarkable bulbs -WHITE GIANT, SAL- 
MON JOY, FANTASY, MONA LISA, AMERICAN EXPRESS, 
DUTCH GOLD, and others equally famous. 
These are favorite exhibition Amaryllis, representing an achieve- 
ment in hybridizing skill for which Ludwig & Company is noted. 
Why, as far back as 1929, close to a quarter of a century, this 
firm won a Golden cup wtih their exhibit of pure white Amaryl- 
lis at the big Dutch Winter Flower Show! 
However, all these rare Ludwig Amaryllis are in limited quan- 
tity. You’d best make haste with your orders to avoid disappoint- 
ment.

ing Orient Red, with a darker throat. Received highest rating possible 
at the Valleevue Trials.

to rose in the throat. The edges of each petal are delicately lighter in

EARLY WHITE (A). An entrancing, immaculate white, with only a faint 
tint of green deep in the throat. Somewhat like a lily in shape, the 
blooms stand elegantly and proudly on the scapes. Excellent substance, 
early flowering.

blossoms of smooth scarlet, toned with orange, blending subtly into a 
deep, rich red at the throat. Not available this season, but you may 
safely send advance orders for December 1953. 
SALMON JOY (A). Lovely, soft Mandarin Red blossoms of glowing in- 
tensity, a livelier tone tending toward light red. A most imposing and 
intriguing creation. The large 8-inch blossoms are almost perfect, and 
flat, pansy-like in form. Especially beautiful, this is a variety that has 
scored great success, and continues so to do,
