Mr. Burbank's Original Yellow Calla 



The plant from which this flower was developed is of 



African origin. It is a not distant relative of the familiar White 



Calla, belonging to the Genus Richardia. These plants, although 



universally called Callas by the florist, are not so named by the 



botanist, the true Calla being a quite different flower of no 



great horticultural importance. The Yellow Calla, known 



also as the Pride of the Congo, was originally of 



a greenish yellow color, but has been made 



to take on the rich hues above 



shown by selective breeding.
