Brunsvigia multiflora hyb. 
Brunsvigia Rosea 
Naked Lily 
This name for the older name of Amaryllis 
belladonna seems to have taken root for the 
present so we will use it from now on. South 
African amaryllid blooming in July-August be- 
fore the leaves appear. Although it is fairly 
hardy and might survive temperatures down to 
zero it is primarily a winter grower and in the 
colder sections when planted outdoors it does 
not have a long enough season of active leaf 
growth and for that reason fails to flower. In 
such locations it should be treated as a pot plant 
and grown in a glasshouse or conservatory dur- 
ing the winter. Plant shallow in warm sections 
and in an open sunny spot. Summer and fall 
delivery.

Heart Aflame 
BALANSAE. A _ large growing _ terrestrial 
bromeliad with well armored leaves which event-

escence is a column of pinkish flowers three feet 
high, but while the plant is in bloom all of the 
inner leaves turn a brilliant flame color and _ the 
plant becomes a most brilliant sight. After flow- 
ering the leaves turn back to green again and 
the edible fruit develops. Plant in the hottest 
and sunniest spot in the garden, away from 
playing children. Delivery anytime. Small plants.
