 any kind, and it can also be used in connection with any other 

 kind of elevated or air pressure systems. A few cents' worth 

 of gas or gasoline each. day will give you plenty of water at 

 high pressure every day of the year. These machines are suitable to be used in con- 

 nection with any kind of water supply systems, and our years of experience in this line 

 of work enables us to guarantee results. Do not make the mistake of doing without

THE GODFREY CAIJiiA. 



Please give me a little advice on 

 growing the Godfrey calla. If I should 

 buy bulbs from 2 1^ -inch pots and re- 

 plant in 5-inch pots, when should they 

 be planted and started to grow, to get 

 a good winter crop! Should they be 

 plunged in ashes or placed in saucers 

 when they are through flowering next 

 spring? Should they be dumped out 

 of the pots, or should they be kept in 

 the same soil year after year! If they 

 are planted directly into solid beds, how 

 far apart should they be each way? Do 

 they carry as big a flower as the Elliot- 

 tiana calla? G. S. 



Uention Tbe Review when yoa wriM- 



If you purchase plants of the God- 

 frey calla in 2%-inch pots, it would be 

 well to pot at once into 4-inch and 

 later into 6-inch, in which they will 

 give you a fine winter crop of flowers. 

 They will even flower in 3-inch pots, but 

 to secure large flowers 5-inch to 6-inch 

 pots are necessary. They flower more 

 freely in pots than it planted in 

 benches. Of course, they want liberal 

 feeding and en.^oy top-dressings of sheep 

 manure and bone meal. The flowers 

 are as large as those of Elliottiana and 

 the common ^thiopica, and purer in 

 color than the latter. They also pro- 

 duce twice as many flowers as the 

 common calla. Lay the pots on their 

 sides outdoors for a rest about June 1 

 and start up again in six or seven 

 weeks. New soil, consisting of fibrous 

 loam, cow manure, sand and some fine 

 bone, should be used each year. The 

 plants do particularly well on a side 

 bench, in a carnation house temperature.
