Probab'y no plant attracted more attention at the International
Flower Show held in the Grand Central Palace, New York in
1913, than the magnificent collection of Amaryllis, Hybrids of
Vittata, which received the prize. One was at once struck with the
great wealth of blooms — dazzling scarlets, flaming crimsons, deep
maroons, dainty pinks magnificent whites with red stripes and
others delicately shaded and superbly veined. We have obtained a
choice collection of this wonderful strain, all being exceptionally fine.

large and should produce magnificent flowers tiext winter and
spring following. The flowers are borne in clusters, they are trum-
pet shaped, 8 to_ 10 inches across, of great substance and last in
perfection a long time. The flower spikes are from 2 to 3"-feet high,
the foliage is long and graceful. The 'plants should be allowed to
rest during the late summer and fall months then started into
growth in the winter. (See cut.)
