Godfrey Kverblooming White Calla. 



A great improvement over the ordinary 

 White Calla, being of even freer growth 

 and much more floriferous over a longer 

 season, the flowers, while a trifle smaller 

 than the old-fashioned Calla, are of purer 

 white and delicately scented. Extra large 

 flowering roots, 30 cts. each; $3.00 per 

 doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



Chionodoxa 



Golden Yellow Calla {Richardia ElUottiana). This is the best of the yellow Callas, 

 its flowers being as large as the popular white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden 

 yellow of velvety texture; the foliage is dark green, with translucent creamy- white 

 spots, which adds much to its beauty. Strong bulbs, ready end of October, 35 cts. 

 each; $3.50 per doz. 



Chionodoxa (Clory of the Snow) 



Splendid for the Rock Garden 

 Luciliae. One of the most beautiful of our spring-flowering bulbs, coming into flower 



soon after the snow is gone. Grows well in any good garden soil, and when once 



planted requires no further care. Flowers of brilliant sky-blue color, with white 



centre. 35 cts. per doz.; $2.25 per 100; $20.00 per 1000. 

 Sardensis. Almost identical to the above, the chief difference being in color, which
