ALSTROEMERIA BEAUTY 
Altogether delightful, near-hardy 
plants from South America, with 
flowers that rival the Lilies in rich 
and varied colorings. They grow from 
roots that are slender, brittle tubers, 
quickly making great masses of blos- 
som splendor. At our nursery they 
are soundly winter-hardy if given a 
good mulching of straw or litter. 
Part this in spring to let the stems 
through. Illustrated opposite.

mense sheafs of brilliant blossoming, 
golden orange with carmine splash- 
ing. Wonderfully effective in the out- 
door border. Not a good forcer under 
glass. Roots, each 50¢; 3 for $1.35 
10 for $4.00. 
ALSTROEMERIA CHILENSIS— (3)22. Bright blossoms in pink, 
or in varied shades and tones of rose and red, often with hint 
of orange. At times creamy, apricot or salmon forms may ap- 
pear. It forces well, and may easily be grown as a pot plant 
in window or greenhouse, but here near Philadelphia it is also 
fully winter-hardy in the open ground, if given some mulching.
