Calla Little Gem. 



This little pigmy rarely exceeds twelve inches in height 

 and blooms most abundantly. The flowers are not more 

 than half the size of the common variety, and therefore 

 can be used with telling effect in bouquets. It is in every 

 way superior as a house plant to the larger growing va- 

 riety. Price, 15 cents each; extra large bulbs, 35 cents each. 



Black Calla, Arum Sanctum. 

 (Solomon's Lily, or the Black Calla of Palestine) 



This magnificent flower often measures one foot in 

 length and five to eight inches in width. Beautifully 

 shaped and turned, sweet scented. The color is of the 

 richest velvety purple black, while the outside is of 

 pleasing green. Our fine bulbs are sure to bloom if planted 

 in rich soil two inches below the surface. Require the 

 same culture as the old well known Calla. Price, 25 

 cents each. 



Calla, White or Lily of the Nile. 



This old favorite is too well known to require any de- 

 scription. I offer dry roots, as they are superior for 

 forcing and Winter-flowering purposes: they come into 

 bloom quickly and require less room— making less foliage. 

 Price, extra large, dormant roots, 25 cents each; first size, 

 15 cents each; one year old plants, 6 cents each. 



Calla, Spotted Leaf. 



(Richardia Alba Maculata. ) 



This plant is always ornamental, even when not in flow- 

 er, the dark-green leaves beautifully spotted with white. 

 In other respects the plant is the same as the old favor- 

 ite White Calla, excepting being of smaller habit. Price, 

 15 cents each. 



ATAMASCO LILIES, OR ZEPHYRANTHES. 



"Zephyr Flowers" and "Flowers of the West Wind" are among our most beautiful dwarf bulbous plants, effective 

 for planting out in masses in May, flowering with great profusion during Summer. Suitable for pot culture; 6 to 12 

 bulbs clustered in a six-inch pot in Autumn will give a fine display of bloom during Winter in the window, garden or 

 conservatory. Hardy south of the Ohio river, and can be permanently planted in the ground outdoors. 



Large, lily-like flowers of a lovelv rose-pink. A free-bloomer. 

 ingly pretty. Price 5 cents each; 6 for 25 cents. 



Sulphurea. 



This rare variety grows taller than the others and has large, beautiful 

 flowers of a clear, brilliant sulphur-yellow. It is very fine, indeed. Price, 

 10 cents each; 3 for 25 cents. 



Alba. 



Exactly like Rosea, except that it is pure white in color. Fine for cutting. 

 Price, 5 cents each; 6 for 25 cents. 



AMARYLLIS FORMOSlSSI MA— (Jacoboean Lily)— The beautiful Scarlet 

 Mexican Lily, the Sacred Flower of the Aztecs. A quaintly shaped, beau- 

 tiful flower of grand dark scarlet, free blooming; forces well and can be 

 grown in water like Hyacinths; if the bulbs are kept dry during Winter, 

 they can be planted in the open ground in Spring, and will flower dur- 

 ing Summer. 10 cents each; 3 for 25 cents. 



AMARYLLIS JOHNSONII— (Spice Lily)— One of the grandest bulbs for pot 

 culture. Immense trumpet-shaped flowers, 6 to 8 inches across, borne on 

 strong, fleshy flower-spikes; rich, deep velvety crimson, each petal having 

 a broad white stripe, contrasting beautifully with the deep red color. Price, 

 for very large bulbs, 50 cents each, or 3for $1.25. 



AMARYLLIS VALLOTA PURPUREA— (Scarborough Lily)— Valuable free 

 Summer and Autumn bloomer; color, rich red. Fine for conservatory or 

 window decoration, or it can be grown continuously in pots or tubs. Well 

 established plants, when in flower, are simply magnificent. I know of 

 no plant that will give more continued delight ihan this. It is one of the 

 few really good window plants. Price, 30 cents each; 3 for 75 cents.
