NERINES (Amaryllidae) These popular South .\frican bulbous plants are among the most charming and most useful of all early winter- flowering plants. Coming into bloom as they do at a time when bulbous flowers of real choiceness are scarce (Oc- tober and November), we find that Xerines amply repay the little care and attention which they require; same cultural directions as amaryllis. There is an ever-increasing demand for these exquisitely beautiful flowering bulbs. Established in pots in an ordinary greenhouse with a temperature ranging from 35 to 60 degrees, they produce annually their handsome umbels of blooms on scapes varying from 12 to 24 inches long. The best time for re-potting is during August, using a good sandy loamwitlia little leaf-mold and well- ecayed cow manure ; encouraging a free foliage growth during winter, but care should be exercised to reduce the watering as soon as foliage commences to turn yellow, eventually keeping the bulbs quite dry till they show- signs of new growth.
