plants which have excited admiration in
all ages.
AMARYLLIS, Linn. The name of a nymph celebrated
by the poet Virgil. Linn. 6, Or. 1
N at. Or A maryllidacem. This interesting and
heantiM genus of bnlbons plants may be successfully
grown in the following manner —The
bulbs of the stove species should be turned
out oi the pots in autumn, and laid on a shelf
or other dry place till spring, when they should
be potted and introduced into the hothouse,
giving them, as they progress, plenty of water.
A. rehculaéa and striatifblia will not bear
turning out, but flower better by remainin^r
in their pots all the year. The gTeenhouse
species must also be turned out of the pots
and dried, and in the spring potted, and encouraged
to flower. The soil should comprise
equal portions of turfy loam and peat, with
a iair quantity of sand; the pots should be
drained well They are increased by offsets
irom the bulbs. ¡Synonymes: 1, Hippedstrum
