water than any other sunny window plant. 

 ^ I wonder if you have ever seen a great pot of 

 white callas grown indoors? A pot fifteen inches 

 across, (often called florin's pan) and six or seven 

 inches deep, is supplied with an inch of drainage 

 material, then filled to within two inches of the 

 top with rich garden soil, place in the centre four 

 inches apart three fine tubers of the tall, white 

 calla forming a triangle, then six tubers of the 

 dwarf whitecalla Godfrey, evenly spaced all around, 

 two inches from the edge of the pot, then gold 

 colored crocus bulbs border the Godfreys two 

 inches apart all around, the pot is then filled to 

 within a good half inch of the top with rich soil 

 pressing and firming it about the tubers and bulbs, 

 finally giving a thorough watering, then adding 

 more soil, if necessary .This pot can be immediately 

 placed in the sunny window and within a few days 

 you will see the exquisite pointed tips of the 

 delicately curled glossy leaves peeping forth. In a 

 surprisingly short time it will be a graceful, 

 verdant, and fascinating objedt, charming even 

 if it never flowers. However, in about six weeks both 

 the large and the miniature callas will bloom and 

 continue to do so for a long time, bordered with the 

 brilliant gold crocuses whose narrow foliage will 

 droop over the edge of the pot, giving finish, 

 warmth of effecTt to the lilies. 

 ^ Cut away the flowers as they fade, always leav- 

 ing a few inches of the ^alk at the base. Oncea week 

 mix a teaspoonful of Bowker's or Clay's prepared 

 plant food in a quart of water and pour it on 

 slowly, so that all of it will be absorbed. It mu^ be 

 borne in mind that callas mu^ never be allowed to 

 become dry, indeed it is a good plan to provide a 

 great saucer under the huge pot to hold and 

 provide a little water from the bottom at all times.
