We have sold so many Ludwig Amaryllis over the seven 
years since World War II that we like to think we have 
made this Dutch strain a household word among Amaryllis 
lovers in the United States. For our services in behalf of 
their Amaryllis, the Ludwig people have named one of 
their finest red Amaryllis “WYNDHAM HAYWARD” which 
received the coveted AA rating at the Thomas R. Manley 
Amaryllis Trials (report published in 1953 “‘Herbertia’’, or 
We can send 
yearbook of the American Plant Life Society).

and in the hands of our customers. Their named varieties 
have an elegance, a refinement and delicacy of coloring, 
symmetry of form and texture unsurpassed by any other 
Amaryllis we know. Size alone is not the outstanding quality 
of the Ludwig Amaryllis. The colors and flower forms are
