more subtle, more ingratiating and appealing than most 
other Amaryllis grown today. They form a definite group 
of their own—famous for generations in Dutch Amaryllis 
lore. 
LUDWIG PINKS 
Possibly the most sensational and outstanding class of 
the Ludwig Amaryllis is their self “PINK” variety list, of 
which we offer four. These have a deep rose-blush pink 
coloring unparalleled by any other strain, with hues pass- 
ing into cherry and bluish violet like the Mathotiana Rubra 
Camellia in DORIS LILLIAN and others. This coloring may 
vary slightly with conditions of culture and the season, tem- 
perature, light, etc. 
PINK FAVORITE—the world’s most famous pink Am- 
aryllis. It is a true watermelon rose-pink, soft, informal 
texture, lovely beyond dreams $10.00 
PINK PERFECTION—a sister seedling, with broader 
and flatter form, more formal bearing. Some prefer this,

leans Amaryllis shows and elsewhere. Has definite bluish

VAN MEEUWEN AMARYLLIS 
New Dutch Strain 
The Van Meeuwen strain of Hybrid Amaryllis is the 
newest in Holland to reach international fame. The fiowers 
are all fine exhibition types, good form, more in the standard 
of the classical Amaryllis of flower shows for the past fifty 
years, a sound, vigorous foundation stock for show purposes 
and breeding. The bulbs are thrifty and free flowering in 
our experience with this strain. They offer an interesting 
and intriguing opportunity for comparison with the two 
other Dutch strains that we sell, as the Van Meeuwen firm 
(a subsidiary of the great DeGraaff bulb interests) has spared 
no expense to produce top grade bulbs of the finest quality. 
While not as well known individually as the Ludwig or 
Warmenhoven varieties, they are Amaryllis of distinction 
and quality which will come to the fore in the near future 
in top competition. 
The Van Meeuwen strain known as “SUPERIORA”, has 
only one pure white, ALBINO, which is good enough, as it 
meets all the requirements of a good pure white. We have 
bloomed this variety and give assurance of its quality, char- 
acter and texture. The Van Meeuwen varieties have received 
numerous gold medals and other exhibition awards in 
Europe, so are already an established line of high repute. 
Early flowering, flat form and large size (8 to 10 nches) are 
the qualities of their flowers most emphasized by Van 
Meeuwen. 
Van Meeuwen also has the exclusive introduction of the 
original GRACILIS Amaryllis, their stock springing from 
the Boegschoten hybrids between Amaryllis striata (rutila) 
and the large hybrids. These have received highest awards 
when exhibited in Holland and England and they are the 
only strain of Gracilis so exhibited and honored to date. We 
are importing a small stock of the Van Meeuwen “original” 
Gracilis Amaryllis this year, blooming sizes bulbs, mixed 
shades, $5.00 each.
