ot se NEW DWARF 
EVER-BLOOMING 
CALLA LILY. 
THE MOST WONDERFUL OF ALL PLANTS. 
It is my good fortune to have come into possession of this most 
valuable Bs all Callas. The following facts will convince any 
one of its great superiority over the old sort: It is of dwarf 
habit, and does not grow tall and scraggy like the old variety, 
but is compact, with a great abundance of lustrous, dark green 
foliage. It1s a true ever-bloomer, its flowers appearing in great 
abundance, both Summer and Winter, when grown in pots, or it 
will bloom profusely all Summer long in the open ground, and 
being potted in September will continue blooming without inter- 
mission all Winter. 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. It is estimated that six 
plants of the old sort will not produce as many flowers in the 
course of a year as will one plant of this new dwarf variety. A 
large plant is hardly ever without one or more flowers, and its 
dwarf, compact habit makes a much more desirable pot plant 
than the old variety. Its flowers are large and snow-white in 
color. All in all,it is one of the most desirable plants I ever 
offered. Price, bulbs of blooming size, 50 cents each; extra 
large size, 75 cents each. 
CALLA ETHIOPICA, : 
(Bewptian Lily.) 
This is the well-known Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile, with 
large, white flowers, broad foliage, and it will prosper under 
very adverse circumstances. It you want large Ca'las send to 
me,as I am headquarters for them. I havethree sizes. Price, 
small piants to bloom next Winter, 10 cents each; strong bloom- 
ing bulbs, 25 cents each; extra strong bulbs that will produce a 
dozen blooms, so cents each, 
NEW DWARF EVER*BLOOMING €ALLA LILY. 
o« CALLA 
RICHARDIA, 
(SPOTTED CALLA.) 
A plant with beautiful spotted 
leaves. It Howers abundantly dur- 
ing the Summer months, when plant- 
ed out in the open border. The flow- 
ers are shaped like those of a Calla, 
and are pure white, shaded with vio- 
letinside. Keep dry in Winter, and 
start in the Spring, like a Dahlia. 
The plant belongs to the same order 
as Calla Ethiopica. Price, bloom- 
ing bulbs, 25 cents each. 
ot THE 
BLACK 
CALLA, 
The introducer says: ‘Its flowers 
are enormous, fully 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 the most striking oddity 
and beauty. The bulbs are large, 
and should be potted in the Fall, 
and when growth commences set in 
awindow. After blooming, the fo- 
liage will die down, and the bulb 
should be kept dry for planting 
again in the Fall. It is a native of 
the Holy Land. Treat 
same as for White Cal- 
la Lily.’? This is a 
very beautiful Lily. I 
have flowered it exten- 
sively. Itiscoal black, 
andisa great curiosity. 
It is very scarce. Price 
of large flowering 
bulbs, so cents each.
