CALLA 



One of the most satisfactory and easily grown flowers 

 for pot culture and forcing. The bulbs should be 

 planted in rich soil, with the crown or top protruding 

 just above the surface. They require an abundance of 

 moisture, particularly during their flowering season, 

 but after they have bloomed they should be allowed to 

 dry ofl' and remain dormant for several months. They 

 thrive best in a warm temperature and moist atmo- 

 sphere, with plenty of light.

Godfrey Everblooming Calla Lily 



AMARYLLIS ready in October 



Showy pot plants blooming in late winter and early spring. The bulbs should 

 be planted as soon as possible after arrival — one bulb to a 6-inch pot — in good soil 

 and kept in moderate temperature and light, with little water until the flower-scapes 

 begin to show. Then bring the pots into a warmer location and water freely. 

 A little plant food or liquid manure applied at this time will stimulate growt h 

 and enhance the size and color of the flowers. The foliage does not appear until 

 after the blooming period has passed. 



Allow 6 ounces per bulb when adding postage
