DUTCH AMARYLLIS © WARMENHOVEN STRAIN 
The Famous Royal Dutch Amaryllis 
The Warmenhoven or Royal Dutch Strain of Hybrid Amaryllis has 
achieved a strong place in the affections of American bulb fans in the 
past several seasons. They are a distinct and worthwhile strain of Hol- 
land Amaryllis, some of them rating high among the modern classics 
ot this royal flower, and all of them outstanding among bulb flowers of 
their kind. The Warmenhoven and Ludwig Strains are complementary 
and the two firms’ separate exhibits are among the features of Dutch 
and Belgian flower shows. 
Actually the WARMENHOVEN varieties are so different from the 
Ludwig strain that there is little direct competition of varieties in the 
two strains. The breeding programs of both firms are outstanding in 
the development of fine show flowers and a remarkable seedling line 
of separate shades bulbs. 
We offer the following bulbs of the Warmenhoven strain, now in 
stock (December). The strain is notable for its white varieties, one ot 
which, Joan of Arc, we are personally tempted to describe as the 
world's finest pure white Amaryllis. The Cleveland Trials rated Queen 
ot the Whites AA on a different type of bloom. 
“SWEET SEVENTEEN''—an attractive keeled rose-pink, netted and 
veined toward the salmon shade, very popular, $6.00. 
"RED MASTER''—a huge dark red, which performs fabulously for 
some. A super-Amaryllis, but needs optimum culture, $8.00. 
"QUEEN OF THE WHITES''—the leading pure white on the War- 
menhoven list, large, informal type, showy, may have a hint of fine red 
dots on second or third flowers, $6.00. 
"MORENO''—(AA rating) an attractive rounded form, medium dark 
red flower, lighter wine coloring, rose-red suffusion toward center, the 
women like it, $5.00. 
"JOAN OF ARC''—a magnificent, huge, sparkling pure white, light 
apple-green in throat; to us this is tops today, $6.00. 
"BORDEAUX''—a rich wine-red, flat, flaring petals, darker in center, 
large flowers at best, $5.00. 
"ORANGE FAVORITE'—rounded petals, 
$5.00. 
"SCARLET TRIUMPH''—a new flaring flat-faced pansy type flower, 
large and impressive, a fine red, a splendid gift bulb, $5.00. 
WARMENHOVEN COLLECTION OF SEPARATE SHADE BULBS—

HYBRID AMARYLLIS—AMERICAN STRAINS 
HOWARD AND SMITH AMARYLI!S—this is the best exhibition 
quality strain of Hybrid Amaryllis available in the United States. It 
was originated and its breeding continued until his death by the late 
Ered H. Howard of California, famous hybridizer and rosarian after 
whom one of today's leading rose varieties is named. The bulbs are 
of outstanding quality yet reasonable in price. We offer blooming size 
bulbs, in best available mixture, grown outdoors in California under 
proper conditions of irrigation and fertilization. All are produced from 
the finest selected seed stock maintained under glass. Blooming sizes, 
three bulbs $2.50; $8.50 per doz. No less than three bulbs can be 
sold to give a proper idea of the strain. 
MEAD STRAIN AMARYLLIS — this is the standard and most 
popular Florida strain of mixed hybrid Amaryllis, vigorous, field grown 
bulbs, colorful for decorative, cut flower, pot plant and garden use, 
not especially for exhibition stock, although fine types are found among 
these bulbs. They are descended from the leading hybrids introduced 
from Europe into Florida by Dr. Henry Nehrling and Theodore L. Mead 
fifty years ago and are the largest selling hybrid Amaryllis in the world. 
Mixed colors, blooming sizes, three for $1.00 or 12 for $3.50. A real 
bargain in bulb beauty. 
CAMMACK STRAIN NAMED AMARYLLIS VARIETIES—a selection 
of the Mead Amaryllis, hybridized and improved by the Cammacks, at 
Lake Hope Flower Farm in Central Florida. There is a charm and pleas- 
ing beauty about these American hybrids, which are mainly decorative 
rather than exhibition types. A dozen bulbs of a variety will bloom with 
remarkable uniformity when well grown and established, and they would 
be an economical sensation at any flower show. They represent the only 
strain of named varieties of American Amaryllis available today except 
the McCann doubles.
