 about six to. eight inches high and is the freest blooming of all 

 the Callas. The bloom is pure white. The following facts will 

 convince any one of its great superiority over the old sort. Of 

 dwarf habit; the same plant will grow and bloom for years 

 without once ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which a good 

 plant will produce is astonishing A large plant is hardly ever 

 without one or more flowers. All in all, it is one of the most de- 

 sirable plants I have ever offered. 15 cents each. 



Tlie Black Calla.— Its flowers are enormous, fnlly a foot in 

 length. Color a clear, coal black, so intense that it really shows 

 a brilliancy and, as may well be imagined, it is a flower of most 

 striking oddity and beauty. The bulbs are large, and should be 

 potted in the Fall, and when growth commences set iu a win-

 should be kept dry for replanting in the Fall. Price of large 

 flowering bulbs 25 cents each.

 spotted leaves. It flowers abundantly during the Summer
