CATALOG ARRANGEMENT 
is by Plant Families, according to their relationship. 
In the following lists the genus (plu. genera) is mentioned first. After it, the species 
(plu. also species) or horticultural variety is named. The initial of the genus is used for 
the second and succeeding species. Thus A. will stand for Amaryllis or Agapanthus 
depending on the genus last named in full. When a person’s name in parentheses follows 
a plant’s name, that person is the botanical authority for the name. 
THE AMARYLLIS FAMILY — Amaryllidaceae 
This Family includes the following bulbs, Agapanthus thru The Alliae. 
The American Plant Life Society was founded in 1934 as The American Amaryllis 
Society. The interests of the Society have recently been enlarged to include other bulbs 
and plants and the name changed but with no lessening in interest in Amaryllids. 
The annual book, “Herbertia,” is devoted to Amaryllids. It consists of about 250 
pages, beautifully illustrated, on fine book paper, and is edited by Dr. Hamilton P. Traub 
of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, (now retired) the greatest living authority on the 
Amaryllidaceae. Each member receives a copy. 
The members also receive the occasional publication, “Plant Life,’ on other bulbs 
and plants. Due to present shortage of paper and its high price these publications at 
present are included in one volume per year. 
Those who grow Amaryllis as an interesting and intellectual hobby and who love 
their vivid beauty, are invited to become members of the society. The annual dues are 
$3.00 per year, which you may send to Miss Pauline Buck, Sec. 25 E. Camino Real, 
Arcadia, Calif., or you may include this membership fee with your bulb order to us. 
The Society also publishes the following book, bound in Manila paper. 
Amaryllidaceae: Tribe Amarylleae, by Traub and Moldenka. 18 illustrations, 194 
pages, $4.00. This is a systematic treatment of one of the main tribes of Amaryllids, in 
scientific language. The most important work on the taxonomy of Amarylleae since the 
publication of Baker’s “The Amaryllideae,” in 1888. Order from the Sec., Miss Buck, 
please. 
Amaryllid nomenclature. Carolus Linnaeus, father of modern botany, made the first, 
rather complete scientific arrangement of plants according to relationships in the 18th 
century. His information about many plants was wholly inadequate to achieve perfection.
