i8 THE DINGEE & CONARD CO., WEST GROVE, PA 



WE know of no plant that compares in striking beauty with this royal member of the Amaryllis family. 

 It grows freely for the most inexperienced in pots or boxes or in open ground, producing numerous spikes 

 of large, fragrant flowers, the beauty of which is beyond description. Every lover of rare and beautiful 

 flowers should secure one bulb at least. It is really superb and will prove a source of continual admiration 

 and satisfaction to all who buy it. It usually sells at $1 per pound. Many of these bulbs will weigh from 

 two to four pounds. We do not, however, guarantee the weight. You will be pleased with the bulbs we send. 



We have just received a splendid importation of extra fine bulbs of 

 this queen of decorative plants. They are plump and sonnd and will 

 start quickly and bloom early. This is the finest lot we have ever 

 had. The stock is limited, therefore order promptly. 



DESCRIPTION 



ORNATUM grows from 1V 2 to 5 feet high, bearing 

 at frequent intervals a crown of 12 to 20 large, lily- 

 like blooms. The color of the flower is beautiful- 

 white, with deep pink stripe down the centre of each 

 petal. An idea of the imposing beauty of plant and 

 flowers can be gathered from our illustration. The 

 flowers are heavy in texture and last for weeks; 

 they are deliciously fragrant. The foliage is ever- 

 green and decidedly handsome. It is a sight not soon 

 forgotten to see a large plant of Crinum Ornatum in 

 bloom. 



CULTURE 



It is of the easiest culture; in fact, once planted, 

 requires no attention at all. Plant in fairly rich, loamy 

 soil in garden, pot or box. A pot or box we consider 

 preferable, not only for convenience sake, but because 

 the plant can be moved indoors at any time. Give 

 plenty of sunshine and water frequently. The bulbs we 

 send out are sure to bloom; they are large, sound and 

 solid— the finest we have ever seen. Then there is no 

 risk, because the bloom is in the bulb. Lovers of beauti- 

 ful flowers will try a bulb of Crinum Ornatum 

 It is sure to please.
