CALLAS. 



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 doz.; or 

 delivered $2 . 25 per doz. 



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. or deliv- 

 ered $2.75 per doz. 



CALLAS. 



— Continued. 



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, 10c. each; 81 .00 per doz, or delivered $1 . 15 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, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz., or delivered $6.50 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. or delivered $1 .50 

 per doz. (For " Black Callas " and " Red Callas " see Arums, page 30.) 



CAMASSIA or INDIAN QUAMASH. 



Esculenta. Perfectly hardy, thriving in sheltered and partially shady situations; 

 the stout flower stalks grow from 2 to 3 feet high, and bear 20 or more large blue 

 flowers, each 2 inches across; a large clump in bloom is very effective. 20c. doz.; 

 $1.25 per 100; or delivered $1.50 per 100. 



Cusicki. A very large flowering type having rosettes of broad grey-green leaves 

 and 3 to 4 foot stems bearing racemes of large light blue flowers. 10c 

 each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100, or delivered $7.50 per 100, 



CHIONODOXA. 



GLORY OF THE SNOW. 



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 per- 

 fection. 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. (See cut.) 



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.
