3 ALSTROEMERIA BEAUTY 
The Alstroemerias are 
hardy or near-hardy tu- 
berous rooted plants from 
South America, with 
flowers that rival the 
lilies in rich and varied 
colorings. They are hand- 
some plants, making great 
sheafs of blossom splen- 
dor. The roots are brittle, 
tangled tubers that must 
be kept in soil to prevent 
drying. At our Old Or- 
chard Nursery we find 
Alstroemeria to be quite 
soundly winter-hardy. We 
mulch the plantings with 
straw in late autumn, 
parting this in spring to 
let the stems through, but 
not removing it. There 
is nothing more decora- 
tive than the Alstroem- 
erias when they are in 
full bloom. In very cold 
regions the roots can be 
dug in autumn and cel- 
lar-stored in sand. Jllus-
