HOWARD & SMITH 
STRIPED HYBRID 
the Horwnon Broun Amaral laa 
More than a few, in fact a goodly number, of our indoor-gardening friends 
have been delighted, with the Hermon Brown Strain for many reasons: the 
blossoms are large, well formed and truly very beautiful; they measure up 
in every way to the exact standards of Hermon Brown—and they’re won- 
derfully inexpensive. 
(And should it Happen that you don’t know the Amaryllis, these bulbs 
will give you an introduction to one of the most magnificent easy-to-grow 
house plants in the world! ‘'What’s more, they’ll do it very inexpensively, 
too!) 
AVAILABLE IN MIXTURE ONLY. There are Near Whites, Red with White 
Markings, Pink and White Combinations, as well as beautiful shades of 
Dark Red. 
LARGE SELECT BULBS, 75c each, 3 for $2.00, 6 for $3.95 
Please Note—On the next page we also offer Howard and Smith’s 
Mixture, because each Strain contains variations in colors, shades 
and effects not found in the other, while the quality and beauty 
are at a par.

developed by those 
marvelous American Hybridists 
As Amaryllis Specialists, we at THE BARNES, can scarcely turn 
a cold shoulder on the gorgeous American Varieties. In fact, we 
look on them with pride, for right here in our own country 
eminent hybridizers and cultivators have made such strides with 
Amaryllis that they are now running a close second to the famed 
Dutch Masters. 
Equal care in propagating is being exercised, and it really 
wouldn’t surprise us if, in a relatively short period, the American 
Amaryllis would rival the best of the Dutch! 
(Smart fellas, we Americans, is it not?)

(via the McCann Nursery, Punta Gorda, Florida) 
Only 2 very beautiful, perfect clones were retained by the late Captain J. J. McCann 
from his remarkable cross of the Double, “Amaryllis Alberti”, of Cuban origin, with 
the Single-Flowered “Nehrling Amaryllis”, some years ago. A total of six clones 
were produced, but four were discarded as not absolutely perfect. 
These two original clones, the “Mary McCann” and the “Madira Bickel” are out- 
standing favorites today! 
However, since double-clones do not set seed it was necessary to hand-pollinate two 
single Hybrid Amaryllis in order to obtain second and succeeding generations. The 
second generation clone is “The Helen Hull”; succeeding generations the “Captain 
McCann” and the “Ed Lena.” 
We present them all for your delight, but do suggest that you make prompt selection 
as we have very limited quantity.
