A Field of White Calla Lilies. 



CALLAS. 



White Calla [Richardia sEihiopica). The White Calla, or 

 Lily of the Nile is a well-known plant of easy culture, and 

 in winter is one of our best window plants. To aid profuse 

 blooming, keep them dormant from the middle of June to 

 last of August, repot in good rich soil, using a 4 to 6-inch 

 pot, give water, light and heat in abundance, and the re- 

 sult will be most satisfactory. Dry roots, 15 cts. each, $1.50 

 per doz.; extra-large, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Dwarf White Calla, Little Gem. A new dwarf variety 

 of the White Calla, from the Channel Islands, growing from 

 9 inches to one foot in height ; it is very free-flowering and 

 fine for pot culture. Has been awarded several certificates 

 of merit. 20 cts. each, §2 per doz. 



Spotted-Leaf Calla (Richardia albo maculata). The 

 leaves of this variety are deep green, with numerous white 

 spots, which give the plant a very ornamental appearance. 

 The flowers are pure white, with a black center ; the}' grow 

 freely, either indoors or out. 15 cts. each, I1.50 per doz. 



Black Calla {Arum Sanctum). This interesting variety 

 resembles in habit and foliage the White Calla, with flowers 

 of a rich purple color over a foot in length and 4 to 6 inches 

 across ; the spike or spadix is about 10 inches long, and of 

 an ebony black color. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; selected
