divisions of the bulbs and are not seedlings. Hence all the bulbs of the same name are 
exactly alike. 
Important. We usually pack Dutch Amaryllis, both Royal Dutch and Ludwig in a 
liberal quantity of peat. To this are added a tablespoonful of bone meal and a teaspoonful 
of blood meal. To this add the leaf mould and sharp sand as advised. This is a good added 
value and it also insures better protection and better bulbs in winter shipments. 
Ludwig Amaryllis. No collection of fine Amaryllis can be complete without several 
of the Ludwig Dutch strain. We tested several the past season and found no disap- 
pointments. Like the Royal Dutch or Warmenhoven strain they are pure self colors unless 
described otherwise, Leopoldi type. All are top size, 314” or over.

Hardy Hybrids. These are not hardy outdoors in the colder states but as far north 
as North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Oklahoma these have proven winter 
hardy if covered by 4” or 5” of soil and given a good winter mulch of straw. 
This is an extremely vigorous, rapid growing and multiplying strain and equally 
prolific with flowers. There are always a few flowers in the field in the fall. They might 
give winter flowers in pots. Most of them are similar in color, orange scarlet with white 
throat and green keel. An ideal strain for outside planting and landscape effects. Their 
bright vivid color “hits you in the eye.” Altho not an exhibition type, many will like 
them in pots, where they are easier to grow than the more aristocratic hybrids, and their 
bright cheerful colors will be most welcome. Price 75c each. $7.50/doz. $50.00/100, 
prepaid. 
Amaryllis Seed. We have only enough seed this year to fill orders already received. 
Any way it costs less to buy the bulbs and raise your own seed. See Amaryllis Culture In 
Pots for method of pollinating flowers and growing the seed. 
Brunsvigia rosea. Familiar in California and the south as Amaryllis belladonna, 
Naked Lady Lily, etc. It is hardy where minimum winter temperatures are 10° above 
zero. It will be safe to plant it on the east coast to N. Car. and to Washington, D.C.; 
thruout the south where winters are mild; on the Pacific Coast to Vancouver. They do 
not always succeed in pots. We have had reports of good growth but no flowers in Fla., 
Miss., and La. This So. African does well where there is no heavy rainfall from May 1 
to Aug. | as here or in its habitat. The flowers are an exquisite pink with a fine 
fragrance. Aug. and Sept. visitors to So. Calif. take back home the memory of these 
and want them. 
Brunsvigia rosea major. Earliest to flower, late July to Sept. 15. 35c ea. $3.50/doz.
