 Bulbous Flowers, will welcome the group ofiered here. It is a fasci-

 flowering period of this group ranges from June to September.

 old favorite white Calla excepting the leaves of Elliotiana are

 twine; it grows from 15 to 30 feet high, and when established the 

 vines attain a much greater length. The leaves are green, thick and 

 glossy, always clean, healthy and free from insects. The white 

 flowers, while insignificant, emit a delightful cinnamon-like perfume.
