TENDER BULBS— Continued 



CALLA LILIES— Concluded 



The New Godfrey Calla Lily, "DEVONIENSIS"— Undoubtedly 

 the finest thing ever sent out in the Calla line, and quite in- 

 dispensable. Blooms all winter. Compared with the ordi- 

 nary Calla, it gives three blooms to one ; is snow-white and 

 perfect in form. Blooms on very small plants, though it 

 attains to a very large size with very large flowers. 

 Blooming bulbs, 30 cents each. 



The New Godfrey Calla Lily, "Devoniensis." 



New Dwarf Calla, LITTLE GEIH — This Calla only grows about 

 eighteen inches high, and is the freest blooming of all the 

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

 convince anyone of its great superiority over the old sort. 

 Of dwarf habit. The same plant will grow and bloom for 

 years, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will 

 produce is astonishing. A large plant is hardly ever with- 

 out one or more flowers. All in all, it is one of the most 

 desirable plants I ever offered. Price, 15 cents, two for 

 25 cents. 



Golden Yellow Calla, RICHARDIA ELLIOTTIANA— It has 



the same habit of growth as the ordinary white variety, with 

 flowers of same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lus- 

 trous golden-yellow color. Blooming bulbs, 35 cents. 



Spotted Calla, RICHARDIA ALBA MACULATA— Plant with 



beautiful spotted leaves. It flowers abundantly during the 

 summer months when planted out in the open border. It 

 makes a fine plant for the center of vases. The flowers are 

 shaped like those of a Calla, and are pure white, shaded 

 with violet inside. Keep dry in the winter, and start in the 

 spring like a Dahlia. Blooming bulbs, 10 cents, three for 

 25 cents; larger size, to produce a dozen blooms, 20 cents.

MONTBRETIAS 



These are handsome flowering bulbs of the easiest culture ; 

 in fact, they are as easy to grow as Gladioli. The flowers are 

 produced on long spikes and the richest shades of color imag- 

 inable. Indeed there is no flower that has so many gay, 

 bright colors. Simply marvelous. They are cheap in price. 

 Be sure and try them. Keep them dry and from freezing in 

 the winter, like a Gladioli bulb. Price, 3 cents each, the four 

 brilliant colors for 10 cents, or a dozen assorted colors for 

 25 cents.
