White Calla. 



RICHARDIAS, or CALLAS. 



Ready in September and October. 



Tall-growing, bulbous perennials of exceedingly graceful habit 

 and very handsome foliage and flowers. They are easily cultivated 

 in pots, requiring only a rich soil and plenty of water. A compost of 

 one part good loam and one part cow manure is I'ecommended. It is 

 a good plan to plant them out in the garden each summer, in rich, 

 well-manured soil, giving them plenty of water, taking them up and 

 carefully repotting in September.
