DINGEE'S NEW GLORIOUS AMARYLLIS 



60c Empress of India $1.00 



2 for $1 Postpaid 



SHOWN IN COLORS ON OPPOSITE PAGE 



OF all the house plants and flowers 

 intended to cheer up the cold, 

 dull days of Winter in the home, 

 none will do it with greater suc- 

 cess than our new, magnificent 

 Amaryllis, Empress of India. Words 

 are inadequate to describe its wondrous 

 form and color, and we can give but a 

 feeble idea of the joy coming to our 

 many friends who will plant this won- 

 derful flower this Fall. 



Each bulb sends up several spikes, 

 each crowned with a glory of massive 

 flowers in clusters of four to six, each 

 flower measuring 6, 8 or 10 inches in 

 diameter. And the colors — a bewilder- 

 ing riot of them. Some barbaric in 

 their splendor of deep crimson; others 

 in shades of pink, while others are al- 

 most pure white, with brilliant splash- 

 ings of intense crimson and dainty pink 

 — all of them perfectly ravishing in 

 their beauty. 



Plant the bulb in good, rich, fibrous 

 soil and sand in a pot not much larger 

 than the bulb, or three bulbs in a 12- 

 inch pot. Let the top of the bulb be 

 about level with the soil, which should 

 not come closer than one inch to the 

 top of the pot. During the blooming 

 season water freely and give an occa- 

 sional application of weak liquid ma- 

 nure. After the bulb is done flowering 

 withhold water gradually, and allow 

 the bulb to rest. 



We offer the bulbs in two sizes; sure to bloom. 

 First-size bulbs, 60 cts. each, 2 for $1. Mammoth 

 bulbs, 8 to 12 inches in circumference, $1 each, 

 postpaid. 



Cluster of Empress of India Amaryllis. 



Other Members of the Amaryllis Family 



Royal or Spice Lily 



Amaryllis Johnsoni. The best known of 

 the Amaryllis, with rich, deep velvety crim- 

 son flowers borne in large clusters on long- 

 stems. Each petal is striped with white. The 

 bulbs send up from two to four flower-spikes 

 and their cultivation is of the easiest. Extra- 

 large, blooming bulbs, 35 cts, each, 3 for $1, 

 postpaid. 



Mexican Lily 



Sprekelia Formosissima. Very much like 

 an Amaryllis in form, but grows to perfection 

 in a bowl filled with sand or pebbles and 

 water. The flowers are gorgeous in their 

 coloring — a deep, velvety scarlet. A brilliant 

 companion to our Paper White Narcissus. 

 Large bulbs, 15 cts., 4 for 50 cts., postpaid. 



Attractive "Spider Lily" 



This attractive lily if planted early in the 

 Fall will bloom in a short time. Produces a 

 large cluster of small crimson lilies, branch- 

 ing out in a circle, the stamens projecting 

 far out, this giving it the appearance of a 

 huge gorgeous spider. If planted out doors 

 in groups in spring will produce a strikingly 

 vivid dash of color. After blooming is over 

 the dark green foliage comes up remaining 

 green for some time. Fine flowering bulbs, 

 20c each; 6 for $1.00, postpaid.

 produces numerous spikes of large, fragrant,
