: PETER HENDERSON & CO.—PLANT 
LITTLE GEM (Elliott’s). 
The great value of this over the common Calla Lily 
lies in its dwarf habit and freedom of bloom. The 
principal objection to the old variety is found in its 
rank growth, but in this improved sort that objection 
is overcome. It rarely exceeds 12 inches in height and 
blooms most abundantly. The flowers are not more 
than half the size of the common variety, and there- 
fore can be used with telling effect in bouquets. It 
is in every way superior as a house plant to the larger 
growing variety. Price, strong blooming plants from 
pots, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.; extra strong plants, 
75¢c. each. (See cut.) 
TRUE BLACK CALLA LILY. 
Arum Sanctum. A rare species from the Holy Land. 
The flowers are about 14 inches long from tip to 
base, and about 4inches broad at the widest part, 
gracefully curving to a small point. They have a 
strong violet-like odor, are a deep velvety purplish 
maroon—almost black—on the upper side, and moss- 
green underneath. From the centre of the flower 
springs a spike ten inches long, of the most intense 
glossy black. Price, 50c. each for strong plants 
started in pots. 
YELLOW CALLA LILY. 
Richardia Hastata. Every one is familiar with the 
well-known White Calla Lily. The fine variety we 
now offer is identical with this in every respect 
except the color, which is light yellow, with rich 
purple in throat of the flower, so that the great 
value of this grand novelty can be readily appre- 
ciated by all. Our stock is limited, so that such of 
our customers as want to procure this rare plant 
will do well to order early. Price, $1.00 each.

It is seldom that such a decided break occurs in a race 
of plants as in the Dahlia, an entirely new class of which is now 
offered in the ‘‘Tom Thumb”’ yarieties illustrated. They will 
become most popular bedding plants, their dwarf habit and 
profusion of bloom, with brilliant colors, making them unri- 
valed for that purpose. Below we give the names and short 
deseriptions of the varieties we offer. The natural height is only from 
12 to 15 inches, and about 24 inches across the plant, forming a compact 
little bush.
