 expensive varieties we have produced a mag- 

 nificent strain of the wonderful, showy flowers. 

 They will produce from 3 to 4 flower stalks, 

 each one bearing blooms from 5 to 9 inches 

 in diameter with broad overlapping' petals, 

 circular in outline, and of every color and 

 marking known in Amaryllis, among them 

 being pure white penciled carmine or bright 

 rose; white clouded and veined with red: 

 crimson rayed and bordered with white; 

 bright orange scarlet selfs; deep rose; deep 

 crimson or blood red selfs shading into velvety 

 black in the center; many of them having in 

 the sunlight the appearance of being: sprinkled 

 with gold and silver dust. 



Price, good sound bulbs sure to bloom. 2^ 

 to 3% inches in diam., 90 cts. eacli, postpaid. 



Of all the house pla«ts 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. 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 wonderful flower this Fall. 



Plant the bulb in good, rich, flbrous 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 applica- 

 tion of weak liquid manure. After the bulb 

 is done flowering withhold water gradually, 

 and allow the bulb to rest. 



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 branching out in a circle, 

 the stamens projecting far out, this giving it the 

 appearance of a huge gorgeous spider. If planted 

 outdoors in groups in Spring will produce a strik- 

 ingly vivid dash of color. After blooming is over 

 the dark green foliage comes up, remaining green 

 for some time. Fine flowering: bulbs. 25 cts. each; 

 5 for $1.00, postpaid.

 cts. each; 3 for $1.00. Enormous bulbs, about 14 

 to 16 inches circumference, 75 cts. each; 2 for $1.25.

Lily-of the- Valley 



One of the most universally known and admired 

 plants. The graceful spikes, with the dainty pure 

 white bells, are a delight to the eye, and their deli- 

 cate fragrance is exquisite. Plants succeed almost 

 anywhere, but prefer a partly shaded situation and 

 rich soil. For house culture, plant rather thickly in 

 pots or boxes, scatter some moss or other light ma- 

 terial over the' soil, which must not cover the crown ; 

 water well and set away in a dark, cold place where 

 they will freeze, or bury pot in ground for several 

 days. When brought to heat and light after a few 

 weeks, the leaves and flowers will soon appear. 

 E'eady for delivery in November. Strong-flowering 

 crowns. Three for 25 cts.. 75 cts. per doz., $6.00 per 

 100, postpaid.
