It is my good fortune to have come into possession of this most valuable of all Callas. 

 The following facts will convince anyone of its great superiority over the old sort. It is 

 of a dwarf habit, and does not grow tall ami scraggly like the old variety, but is strong 

 and compact, with a great abundance of lustrous dark green foliage, it is a true ever- 

 bloemer, its flowers appearing in great abundance both summer and winter uhen grown 

 in pots, or it will bloom profusely all summer long in the open ground and potted in 

 nber will continue blooming without intermission 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 so many flowers in the course "of a year as will one plant of the new 

 dwarf variety. Its flowers are of great size, much larger than the common sort, and 

 snowy white in color. Ail in all, it is one of the most desirable plants I ha\e ever 

 offered Blooming size started bulbs, 40 cents each, 3 for 81.00 post-paid.
