CALLAS *** 



The Godfrey Ever-Blooming Cilia. 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 IS inches high, with an abundance of 

 dark green leaves. {See cut.) Dormant bulbs, 25c. each, 

 $2.50 per doz. or delivered $2.75 per doz. 



Calla Aethipoica, 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 re- 

 quire less room, making less foliage. Large bulbs, 20c. each, 

 $2.00 doz. or delivered $2.25 per doz. Mammoth bulbs, 25c. 

 each, $2.50 doz. or delivered $2.75 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. It is in every 

 way superior as a house plant to the larger-growing variety. 

 Dry bulbs, 10c. "each, $1.00 per doz. or delivered $1.15 per doz. 



Yellow Calla, Elliottiana. 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 Elliottiana are spotted with white. 

 60c. each, $6.00 doz. or delivered $2.75 per doz. ^ 



Spotted Leaf Calla. (Richardia Alba ilaculata.) Dark 

 green leaves spotted with white; in other respects the 

 plant is similar to the old favorite white Calla, ex- 

 cepting being of smaller habit. Large bulbs, 15c. each, 

 $1.50 per doz. or delivered $1.65 p?r doz.

 coloring. They somewhat resemble a Tulip in shape, and are of many colors, 

 shades and markings. Planted in May in the open border, they flower in June 

 and July. They also succeed admirably planted in the fall in a cold frame.

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 perfection. They will thrive 

 well in any good garden soil, and are admirable for pot culture, for winter bloom- 

 ing 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 " sec- 

 onds " that can be sold at a lower price.
