BULBS FOR INDOOR CULTURE. 



19 



Calla Lily or Lily of the Nile are the names under 

 which Recardias are commonly known. They bloom at 

 almost any season of the year, but are especially valuable for 

 Winter blooming. Dry bulbs may be potted and planted in 

 rich soil, and abundance of water should be given at all times 

 while growing. No novelty of recent introduction has created 

 such a furore as Little Gem. It has created a sensation, and 



I the many points 

 of superior merit 

 have placed it in 

 the foremost 

 ranks of the Lily 

 family.

CALLA, LITTLE GEM. 



LITTLE 



©EM. 



It is indeed a 

 pigmy, scarcely 

 ever exceeding 

 the height of one 

 foot, yet produc- 

 i n g good-sized 

 flowers, which 

 are snowy white 

 in color. It will 

 be found exceed- 

 ingly useful for 

 cut flowers. The 

 bulbs of the gen- 

 uine Little Gem 



are very scarce ; our stock has been procured direct from 

 headquarters. 25 cts. each ; 2 for 40 cts. ; 5 for $1. 



SPOTTED €ALLA. 



The leaves of this popular and beautiful novelty are deep 

 rich green, exquisitely ornamented with pure white marks ; 

 the plant is therefore highly ornamental even when not in 

 flower ; in all other respects it is like the favorite old Calla. 

 The pure white color of the flowers is lovely in contrast with 



the deep black throat ; it is easily grown, very distinct, free 

 to bloom and will give satisfaction ; we would advise grow- 

 ing two bulbs in a five-inch pot; the culture is very simple. 

 We have a fine stock of large, solid bulbs that cannot fail to 

 give the best results (see cut). 15 cts. each; 2 for 25 cts.; 

 S for 50 cts.

 and foliage as the California-grown corms we offer. 30 cts. 

 each ; 2 for 50 cts.
