ABOUT WARMENHOVEN AMARYLLIS / , Noy 9"

By Amos Pettingill x L§ 
These spectacular winter-flowering house plants have been de- 
veloped over a period of 70 years by a fine, small Dutch grower 
named Warmenhoven, who grows nothing but amaryllis. There are not 
many bulbs available each year -- from 2,000 to 4,000 depending 
upon the growing season, and we have most of them. 
These amaryllis are not only spectacular the first year, but 
with a minimum of care the bulbs grow bigger and bigger, throw more 
and more flowering stalks year after year. Warmenhoven colors are 
not garish, the striped varieties blend instead of looking like stiff 
candy sticks. Blooms are about 4-inches in diameter and there are 
from two to six flowers on each flowering stalk. Each bulb is 
guaranteed to flower. 
Amaryllis make unique Christmas gifts, particularly for those 
people who seem to have everything -- except Warmenhoven Amaryllis. 
They are the perfect "not-too-little-and-not-too-much" remembrance. 
We have stacks of testimonials. One, received April 21, was 
from Mrs. Richard Rodgers, wife of the composer, who bought a quantity 
of white Warmenhoven Amaryllis two years ago to grow for cut flowers. 
She had never before raised Amaryllis, and was a bit skeptical about 
getting blooms after the first year. She wrote, "For two years the 
white amaryllis bulbs which we bought from you have given us tre- 
mendous pleasure. They were sensationally beautiful last year . 
everyone admires them so much", 
Order by color: White, Dark Red, Scarlet, Light Red, Pink, 
Salmon, Rose, and Rose and White. The price is $5.50, ready to 
grow in a 5-inch pot -- all the recipient of this gift has to do 
is to add water and follow directions (included in every package). 
Postage is free in the U.S.A. Unpotted bulbs are $4.25 each. (This 
also includes postage.) The packaging is attractive and we enclose 
your card. 
Order now and we can supply the color you want. (After Decem- 
ber 1 we reserve the right to substitute to the closest shade.) For 
collectors we have named-variety Warmenhoven bulbs, very costly but 
very lovely. They are described in the flap of the enclosed return 
envelope. They are extremely scarce and we suggest giving them only 
to the most dedicated gardener.
