Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



NOTE— Our offerings of miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots conlinue rather meagre on account of their importation for sale being prohibited 

 by the Federal Horticultural Board, and as there is at present no American sources of supply we have been obliged to drop them from our list. 

 The majority of the Bulbs and Roots offered in this Catalogue are usually ready for delivery before the end of September. A few sorts do not 

 mature until October or November. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs as soon as ready, and the late maturing sorts when 

 in good condition to ship.

 in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold frame, or any moderately cool

Calla Lilies 



(Arum Lilies or Lily of the Nile) 



White Calla (Rkhardia Acthiopica). The White Calla, or Lily 

 of the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, and in winter 

 is one of our best window plants. To aid profuse blooming 

 keep them dormant from the middle of June until the last of August; repot as soon 

 as received in good, rich soil, using 6- to 8-inch pot; give water, light and heat 

 in abundance, and the result will be most 



satisfactory.

 and delicately scented. Strong flowering roots,

 texture; the foliage is dark green, wfth trans- 

 lucent creamy-white spots, which adds much to its 

 beauty. Strong bulbs, ready October ISth,
