DINGEE'S NEW GLORIOUS AMARYLLIS 



Empress of India 



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 success than 

 our new, magnificent Amaryllis, Empress of 

 India. Words are inadequate to describe its won- 

 drous form and color, and we can give but a 

 feeble idea of the joy coming to our many 

 friends who will plant this wonderful flower this 

 Fall. 



Each bulb sends up Several spikes, each 

 crowned with a glory of massive flowers in clus- 

 ters of four to six, each flower measuring six, 

 eight or ten inches in diameter. And the colore 

 — a bewildering riot of them. Some barbaric in 

 their splendor of deep crimson ; others in shades 

 of pink, while others are almost pure white, with 

 brilliant splashings of intense crimson and dain- 

 ty 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 occasional application of weak 

 liquid manure. After the bulb is done flowering 

 withhold water gi-adually, and allow the bulb to 

 rest. 



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

 First-size bulbs, 60 cts. each; two for $1.00. 

 Mammoth bulbs, 8 to 12 inches in circumference, 

 $1.00 each, postpaid. 



ROYAL OR SPICE LILY (Amaryllis Johnsoni). 



The best known of the Amaryllis, with rich, 

 deep velvety crimson 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 ; 

 three for $1.00, 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, vel- 

 vety scarlet. A brilliant companion to our Paper- 

 white Narcissus. Large bulbs, 15 cts.; four 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 

 blanching 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 bloom- 

 ing is over the dark green foliage comes up, remain- 

 ing green for some time. Fine flowering bulbs, 20 

 cts. each; six for $1.00, postpaid. 



CRINUM ORNATUM. This royal member of the Am- 

 aryllis family produces numerous spikes of large, fra- 

 grant, lily-like flowers, white, with deep pink stripe 

 in the center of each petal. Prices, first size, about 

 9 to 11 inches circumference, 30 cts. each; four for 

 $1.00. Second size, about 11 to 13 inches circumfer- 

 ence, 40 cts. each. Enormous bulbs, about 14 to 16 

 inches circumference, 60 cts. each; two for $1.00. 



AMARYLLIS REGINAE. A magnificent pot plant, 

 with beautiful lily-like flowers of large size, borne in 

 splendid clusters on long stems. The flowers are 

 brilliant scarlet-crimson, with a white star in the 

 throat. Strong, flowering bulbs, 15 cts. each; four 

 for 50 cts., postpaid. 



BELLADONNA LILY (Amaryllis Belladonna). Bears 

 splendid clusters of soft, rosy-pink, with a delicate 

 fragrance. Extra-large bulbs, 20 cts. each; three for 

 50 cts., postpaid. 



BARBADOES LILY (Amaryllis Equestre). Splendid 

 clusters of scarlet flowers, each with a green and 

 white throat. Fine, large, blooming bulbs, 15 cts. 

 each ; four for 50 cts., postpaid.
