a 
New Dwarf Calla Lily, Little Gem.—It is my good fortune 
to have come into possession of this most valuable of all 
Callas. The following facts will convince any one of its 
great superiority overthe old sort. Of dwarf habit; the 
same plant will grow and bloom for years without once 
L ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will 
produce is astonishing. A large plantis hardly ever with- 
out one or more flowers. All in all, itis one of the most de- 
sirable plants I have ever offered. 20 cents each. 
The Black Calla.—Its flowers are enormous, say, a foot in 
length. Color aclear coal black, so intense that it really 
shows a brilliancy and, as may well be imagined, it isa 
flower of most striking oddity and beauty. The bulbs are 
large, and should be potted inthe Fall, and when growth 
commences set in a window. After blooming, the foliage 
will die down, and the bulb should be kept dry for replant- 
ingin the Fall.
