ture it is a good acquisition to our collec- 

 tion of bulbous plants. 40c. per dozen. 



Calla Aetheopica. Lily of the Nile. 

 As a winter blooming bulbous rooted pot 

 plant there is hardly anything to come up 

 to the beautiful Calla Lily. The plant which 

 is of an easy culture will bloom in the green 

 house as well as in a room near the window 

 or even on the veranda as long as it is kept 

 frost free. It may also be grown in a fish- 

 pond or tank in a green house and produce 

 its large pure white flowers. Bulbs should 

 be potted in the months of October, No 

 vember and December, and may be had to 

 bloom from Christmas to March. 



Have bulbs on hand, which we sell at 

 20c each, or $2.00 per dozen.

 CUXUS-) A handsome pot plant, producing

 loamy, dry soil suits it best, if planted one 

 inch deep.

several of these noble lilies in bloom, and 



they were really fine; half a dozen flowers 



opening at the same time and measuring 



from six to nine inches across. Very fra- 

 grant. We have fine bulbs, imported direct
