GUARANTEE 
We certify that the bulbs of our named varieties, 
Queen of the Whites, Joan of Arc, Red Master, Scar- 
let Triumph, etc., etc., as supplied from our stock 
to our American customers are, to the best of our 
knowledge through the exercise of careful attention 
during propagation and culture, authentic vegetative 
propagations from a single bulb and single clone, 
barring admixture of similar material through acci- 
dent or misfortune.

For the season of 1953-54, with this, our 20th anniversary 
catalogue, marking a score of years in the Amaryllis busi- 
ness, we are happy to offer our customers three leading 
Dutch Strains of Hybrid Amaryllis, named varieties and 
separate shades bulbs, which we believe truly are the world’s 
finest Amaryllis available today. 
Warmenhoven, Ludwig and Van Meeuwen are the three 
strains we offer with this 1953-54 catalogue. They are the 
cream of the Holland seedling and vegetatively propagated 
named varieties of Amaryllis which have become so popular 
as spring-flowering bulbs in the United States and Europe 
today. In two of these strains we offer “separate shades” 
bulbs, which are selected seedlings of fine Dutch Amaryllis, 
many of them unbloomed and among which will be found 
bulbs the equal and even superior to the named varieties in 
some cases. It takes time to propagate named varieties 
from a single bulb to commercial quantities. 
The Warmenhoven Strain which we are listing below 
has made the most remarkable progress into the hearts and 
enthusiasm of American amateur and professional growers 
in recent years. From a few bulbs just a few seasons back, 
we now import hundreds of these fine named varieties an- 
nually. They are a distinct and worthwhile Strain produced 
by an old and established Dutch firm of Amaryllis specialists, 
Warmenhoven & Zonen. Their bulbs have been known as 
the Royal Dutch Strain for many years.

Some of the Warmenhoven varieties rate among the clas- 
sics of modern named variety Amaryllis, and all are distinct 
and different from other Dutch Strains so that there is little 
direct competition of varieties. The exhibits of these three 
Dutch Amaryllis growers are long-established features of 
the Dutch and other continental flower shows, and recog- 
nized for the individuality and personality of their blooms. 
Dutch Amaryllis are received from Holland late in No- 
vember or early in December and are shipped out immedi- 
ately to customers. Sometimes we can fill part of an order 
in November from bulbs already on hand and grown over 
summer and fall in our special cultures which we are proud 
to say produce a bulb as fine in every way as the best im- 
ported stock. 
Order as early as possible, and we will ship when avail- 
able. Directions for potting and growing will be supplied. 
Supplies of these choice named variety bulbs and separate 
ULUCL iL 
guarantee these bulbs, when properly grown, under good 
care and conditions, to produce the finest exhibition and 
decorative flowers in the world today. We use every effort 
to keep them true to name and shade, and will replace any 
the following season which are found unsatisfactory or send 
refund. There is always the possible element of human 
error in growing, packing and shipping. 
We do not guarantee these bulbs under indifferent care 
and attention, without adequate warmth and moisture, good 
drainage, etc., to produce exhibition flowers on every occa- 
sion. They do it many times, and very few fail to give a 
good account of themselves, but they respond best to good 
treatment. A fine Amaryllis bulb is an investment in beauty 
and joy for the future years as well as today. When well 
established the bulbs will give better performances. Grow- 
ing good root systems is a fine art of Amaryllis success. 
Be sure your potting soil is on the lighter side.

a serious complaint. Bulbs in these collections will be found
