Scope and content
The illustration of the Red Amaryllis appears in the fifth volume of the Transactions of the Horticultural Society, presented to the Society in 1824. From its foundation in 1754 the RSA took a strong interest in plants and planting, ranging from its major tree planting campaign in the 18th century; improvement of land for planting; production of food crops for both man and beast, such as potatoes, carrots, apples etc.; to medicinal plants such as opium and rhubarb. The Society also encourage the development of botanical gardens in Britain's colonies to raise viable plants, including spices, for transportation between the colonies and the United Kingdom. in recent time the Amaryllis has become a popular Christmas gift, flowering in the months thereafter. 9,680 copies sold
