WHITE CALLAS— DRY BULBS. 



(Ready for shipment — August to November.) 

 The dry bulbs are superior for forcing purposes as they come into bloom quickly 



and require less room — making less foliage. Dry bulbs will flower nearly twice as 



abundantly as plants that have been kept growing or only semi-dormant.

$75.00 per 1000. 



The Godfrey Ever Blooming Calla. This new hybrid is a true ever-blooming 

 variety. A good plant produces an astonishing quantity of large, snow-white, 

 slightly fragrant flowers. Compared with the ordinary white Calla, it gives three 

 flowers to one, the flower being equally large, of perfect form and very much 

 whiter. Properly treated, the same plant will grow and bloom without ceasing. 

 The plant is of dwarf, compact, strong growth, about 18 inches high, with an 

 abundance of dark green leaves. Dormant bulbs, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. or 

 delivered $10.00 per 100, S85.00 per 1000.

Gladstone. A new, large flowering Spiraea Japonica — an improvement 

 over all other white-flowering Spiraeas — and one of the most beautiful 

 winter and spring flowering pot plants grown; the immense trusses of 

 flowers are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong stalks 

 18 inches high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume-like 

 trusses, practically enveloping the plant with a feathery foam; large 

 imported clumps. $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000. 



The New Pink Spiraea " Peach Blossom." This beautiful rosy pink 

 variety is of the same dwarf compact habit as " Gladstone." It forces 

 equally as well under the same cultural conditions, only it comes 

 into bloom a few days later. If slightly shaded when coming in to 

 bloom the color will be brought out to perfection. Well grown pots of 

 it in bloom are very attractive and salable. Strong clumps of the true 

 deep rosy pink strain. $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100, $1)0.00 per 1000.
