Commercial catalogs Seeds; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Vegetables Catalogs; Fruit trees Catalogs; John Lewis Childs (Firm); Commercial catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture); Seeds; Flowers; Vegetables; Fruit trees. Amaryllis. A royal family of bulbs, with large umbels of magnifi- cent Lily-like flowers of largest size and richest coloring. Besides the pure white, pale flesh and soft pink shades are many intense and brilliant shades of crimson, scarlet, orange and vermillion, either self-color or boldly striped with white, green or red. Can be kept in pots the year round, or planted out in open ground during summer. Alternate rest and growth is the secret of big Amaryllis blossoms, and lots of them. While growing give them all the sun and moisture possible ; but while at rest, give very little water, or none at all. The finer varieties increase so slowly as to be always high in price, but if our customers were to compare our prices with the leading European firms, who ask eight, ten, fifteen and twenty dollars per bulb for what we ask from fifty cents to two dollars for, they would think our prices extremely low for such rare and fine varieties.

Bulb- and flowers of enormous size; color, deep blood-crimson, shaded black. A grand variety '75.
