JAMES BEATTIE Flight beautiful amaryllis blooms, sometimes known as red fillies, have this week attracted the notice of visitors to the home of Mrs. James Beattie, Church street. Apart from their earliness and number, the ex- ceptional beauty of the red blooms with their thread of white made an unistially brilliant display. Two of the stalks hall three blooms each and the other stalk has two blooms and a haul which it appears will not likely open before the others fade. When Miss Alexander, w110 111• sf(IeF with Mrs, Beattie, brought the flower pot containing the three amaryllis bulbs from the cellar, the flower pot was warmed by plaeing it in a pan of boiling water and in two days there were signs of .growth. Two weeks later it was again warmed with water, this time at a medium temperature. Last year the sante treatment was given but only two blooms appeared on each stalk in. stead of three as this year.
