DWARF CALL A, LITTLE GEM. 



CALLA. 



Calla Lily or Lily of the Nile are the names under 

 which Recardias are commonly known. They bloom at 

 almost any season of the year, but aie especially valuable for 

 Winter blooming. Dry bulbs may be potted and planted in 

 rich soil, and abundance of water should be given at all 

 times while growing. No novelty of recent introduction has 

 created such a furore as Little Gem. It has created a sensa- 

 tion, and the many points of superior merit have placed it in 

 the foremost ranks of the Lily family. 



Dwarf Calla, Little Gem. 



It is indeed a pigmy, scarcely ever exceeding the height of 

 one foot, yet producing good-sized flowers, which are snowy 

 white in color. It will be found exceedingly useful for cut 

 flowers. The bulbs of the genuine Little Gem are very 

 scarce ; our stock has been procured direct from headquar- 

 ters. (See cut.) 25 cts. each; 2 for 40 cts.; 5 for $1. 



SPOTTED CALLA LILY. 



Spotted Calla. 



The leaves of this popular and beautiful novelty are deep 

 rich green, exquisitely ornamented with pure white marks; 

 the plant is therefore highly ornamental even when not in 

 flower; in all other respects it is like the favorite old Calla. 

 The pure white color of the flowers is lovely in contrast with 

 the deep black throat; it is easily grown, very distinct, free 

 to bloom and will give satisfaction ; we would advise grow- 

 ing two bulbs in a five-inch pot ; the culture is very simple. 

 We have a fine stock of large, solid bulbs that cannot fail to 

 give the best results. (See cut.) 15 cts. each ; 2 for 25 cts.; 

 5 for 50 cts. 



Calla— Lily of the Nile. 



Is the favorite old White Calla that always gives satisfac- 

 tion. We offer well-ripened corms, suitable for 5-inch pots; 

 no other Calla will give such an abundance of fine flowers 

 and foliage as the California-grown corms we offer. 25 cts. 

 each ; 2 for 40 cts. 



BABIANAS. 



Babianas. 



These unusually pretty 

 and attractive flowers should 

 be better known ; no illus- 

 tration short of a colored 

 plate could do justice to the 

 remarkably beautiful shad- 

 ings and variegations shown 

 in Babiana flowers; should 

 be given the same treatment 

 as Ixias; especially adapted 

 for Winter blooming.

 blue, lower petals purple and 

 mauve. 5 cts.; 3 for 12 cts. 



Lady Carey. — Rich 

 purplish crimson, with each 

 alternate petal shaded 

 mauve. 10 cts.; 3 for 25 cts.

 ender blue. 5 cts.; 3 for 12c.

 ture. — Embracing a large 

 number of distinct varieties. 

 3 cts. each; 3 for 8 cts.; 6 

 for 15 cts.; 12 for 30 cts. 



Antholyza. 



This is an ornamental family of half-hardy bulbs bear- 

 ing a close resemblance to Gladiolus. They have not, how- 

 ever, been so popular as they 

 merit. The prevailing colors 

 are orange and scarlet, and the 

 plants have consequently a 

 striking effect among plants of 

 more sober hues. Grown in- 

 doors, they come in useful as 

 pot plants for the decoration 

 of rooms, window gardens, etc., i 

 as well as for cutting. Their 

 blooming may be more ex- 

 tended by potting and starting 

 the bulbs at different times," 

 and in this way they may be 

 had in flower from January 

 to July or August. They pro- 

 duce rare and beautiful flow- 

 ers, and should be in every 

 collection. ANTHOLYZA. 



Fine Mixed. — Large sized bulbs, 12 cts. each ; 4 for 40.
