WE WISH to call special attention to our collection of this class of magnificent flowering bulbs; not that the collection is complete by any means, but never elsewhere have sucn beautiful and desirable s >rts been catalogued at such extremely low prices. Not more than two or three of the Crinums we offer can be obtained auvwhere in the Nortb, and they would be catalogued there at much higher prices than ours, and it is acknowledged that our bulbs of this family are the largest and finest ever sent out by any concern. Culture—Nearly all members of the Amaryllis family require a season of rest from September or October until February or March, during this period giving just water enough to keep the large fleshy roots from drying up and dying. At the close of the resting period, water copiously and keep the plants growing vigorously uuti 1 the beginning of the next resting season. At the beginning of the growing season, remove the top soil down to the roots and replace with fresh soil containinga liberal quantity of well-decayed manure; also water with liquid manure during the grow- ing and flowering period, and shift the plants to larger pots when they become too much crowded. Amaryllis Aralica Platypetala—One of the most noble and beautiful of all. Produces 2 and 3 flower scapes at one time, bearing immense flowers, rich crim- son, checkered with veins of a deeper blood-crimson; a green star and maroon blotch in center. Blooms in November and December. Bulbs 6 to 7 inches in cir- cumference, 60c. each; 8 to 10inches in circumference, $ each, postpaid. Amaryllis Equestre—Flowers 5 or more inches across, opening out very flat and nodding, instead of being in the form of most Amaryllis ; in color bright, spark- ling orange-red, with a most beautiful green and white star in the center.
