Another Freak Calla 



This oddity was observed on one oj Mr. Burbank's yellow 



Calla plants. It will be noted that the true leaj shows a 



tendency to turn yellow, while the spathe has the green markings of 



the leaj on its back. This is but one of innumerable freaks or 



sports such as are encountered in large quantity 



production of plants; and it is from these oddities, 



often, that new ideas of old and useful 



heredity within the plant are made 



evident to the plant improver.
