Weight 3 lbs. per doz. Single bulbs mailed free. 



Calla Aethiopica, or Lily of the Nile. This 

 old favorite White Calla Lily is too well 

 known to require any description. We 

 offer dry roots, as they are superior for 

 forcing and winter-flowering purposes; 

 they come into bloom quickly and require 

 less room making less foliage. Extra 

 large bulbs, 20c. each, $2.00 per doi. 



The Godfrey Everblooming 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. (See cut.) Dormant 

 bulbs, 25c. each. $2 50 per doz.

Little Gem Calla. This little pigmy rarely exceeds 12 inches in height and blooms most 

 abundantly. The flowers are not more than half the size of the common variety, 

 and therefore can be used with telling effect in bouquets. A fine house plant. 

 Dry bulbs, 12c. each; SI. 25 per doz. 



Pink Calla. (Richardia Rehmanni.) A dwarf growing bulbous Calla producing 

 freely erect trumpet-shaped flowers of pink tinged with purplish-rose inside; 

 foliage green. Suitable either for pot culture during winter or for gardens in 

 summer.- Dry bulbs 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



Yellow Calla, EUiottiana. The finest Yellow Calla; large, rich, deep golden flowers 

 often 4 to 5 inches across at the mouth; habit of growth and foliage like the old 

 favorite white Calla excepting the leaves of EUiottiana are spotted with white. 

 Mammoth 3 year old bulbs, 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



Spotted Leaf Calla. (Richardia Alba Maculata.) Dark green leaves spotted with 

 white; in other respects the plant is similar to the old favorite white Calla, excep- 

 ting being of smaller habit. Large bulbs, 12c. each, $1.25 per doz.

GLORY OF THE SNOW. 



// by Parcel Post add postage~<& Zone Rates. Weight 3 lbs. per 100. 



Dozens mailed free. 



These are among the most exquisite of spring-flowering bulbs, and 

 should be grown in quantities. They produce flower spikes bearing 

 10 to 15 lovely Scilla-like flowers. They are perfectly hardy, and 

 may be planted as an edging to a bed, or in masses; naturalized 

 In the lawn they are charming; they flower with the Snowdrops 

 and last a long time in perfection. They will thrive well in 

 any good garden soil, and are admirable for pot culture for 

 winter blooming in the house and for forcing, for cut flowers. 



Chionodoxas also do especially well grown in Henderson's 

 Prepared Fibre. (See page 50.) 



Remember that our Chionodoxa bulbs are large cultivated 

 bulbs that will throw up several spikes bearing several flowers 

 on each not the collected " seconds " that can be sold at a 

 lower price.

 is an excellent modern medium in 

 which to grow and flower bulbs 

 during winter in bowls, jardineres, 

 fern dishes, etc., without drainage. 

 Always sweet, clean to handle, and no 

 drip. It is the most charming way of 

 growing bulbs in the house.- -
