LUDWIG STRAIN — DUTCH HYBRID AMARYLLIS 
The Ludwig Strain of Hybrid Amaryllis, remains outstanding in the 
world of Hybrid Amaryllis after many years. Again we offer our custom- 
ers our limited imported stock of the world’s finest named varieties of 
Ludwig & Co., leading Holland Amaryllis firm, for which we have been 
special representative for seven years, for both seeds and bulbs. 
Prices for the current season in Ludwig Amaryllis are no higher, and 
the quality is the same or better. We offer tested named varieties and 
novelties and the well-known and deservedly popular Separate Shades 
Seedlings. Early Ordering is suggested and customers are invited to 
send lists of substitutes or alternate choices to save correspondence in 
the event we are short or sold out in any variety. 
Practically all of the listed varieties have been flowered by us at 
Lakemont Gardens and may be safely recommended for the amateur 
who knows something about good Amaryllis. They should be given the 
care and attention of any fine plant and every effort made to supply 
their simple needs to assure good performance this year and succeeding 
seasons. 
Cultural requirements of Amaryllis in the home or greenhouse are 
simple.The bubs should be potted in six or seven inch pots (we like 
gallon cans with good drainage holes using a potting soil of one-third 
sandy loam or actual building sand, one-third compost or rotted manure 
and one-third garden loam or leaf mold type sandy loam. Keep bulbs 
warm, not under 65 degrees, 70 is better, until they bloom, give plenty of 
light at all times (in Florida gardens they bloom well in half shade or 
full sun. Plant pot out in the garden in summer to encourage leaf growth, 
feed liberally with organics and liquid fertilizer and bring into house 
before frost. Bulbs should be kept warm at all times when growing. 
Additional information on Amaryllis culture can be obtained from 
your garden dictionary,state experiment station, any good florist grower 
or bulb specialist, or from us. We can supply free copies of our 1949-50 
illustrated Amaryllis catalogue which contains a lavish amount of infor- 
mation about Amaryllis culture and propagation,the history and the 
strains of these wonderful spring-flowering bulbs. 
For this circular, space limits us to the explanation that the Dutch 
growers have advanced the modern Amaryllis beyond all dreams by the 
Luyten methods of vegetative propagation fully described in the early 
issues of Herbertia, yearbook of the American Amaryllis Society, now 
a section of the American Plant Life Society. These past year books 
contain a virtual encyclopaedia of learning and data about the Amar- 
yllis and its lore. Circulars of the American Plant Life Society available 
on request and we urge every Amaryllis fan to become a member. 
By seedling selection over many years, the Dutch growers have rlso 
developed seedling strains of Amaryllis which come true to shade almost 
without exception and these are what we offer as ‘Separate Shades 
bulbs’. The named varieties are propagated by some form of cuttage 
(vegetatively) from one original, selected parent bulb in each case. 
LUDWIG SEPARATE SHADES AMARYLLIS COLLECTIONS 
Seedings of fine parentage, grouped by color shades, and notably 
true to color with slight variation. We do not guarantee solid selfs, but 
many of them will come so and out of hundreds of these collections we 
have sold in the last five years we have never had a complaint. Some 
of the bulbs in these collections occasionally will be found superior to 
existing named varieties and worth propagation under new names. Named 
varieties are often selected from this stock in Holland. 
FIVE BULBS, FIVE SHADES—including pure white and rose-pink, 
and three other shades—scarlet, dark red, orange, salmon or striped, as 
available, $10.00 per collection, postage extra. Pure white and rose-pink 
bulbs are not sold separately. Other shades, $3.00 per bulb as available.
