" Elliott's Little Gem." 



On this page Elliot's Little Gem and 

 the new " Snowflake" Calla are shown, 

 both being grown under exactly the same 

 conditions : the flowers, leaves and plants 

 of this new Calla are ?wt 7iearly half as 

 large as the "true Little Gem," as may 

 be verified in part by the accompanjnng 

 photographs ; the leaves of " Snowflake" 

 differ in shape from all the other Callas, 

 the lobes being more rounded as ma}^ be 

 seen by the lower (life-size) photograph. 

 Last season there existed but 07ie plant 

 and some bulblets ; this season I have 07ie 

 hundred large healthy plants. Has the 

 full control of such a floral gem ever 

 been offered? Price, $2,000, which will 

 be most cheerfuUj^ refunded — all plants 

 to be returned — if it proves to be half 

 as large as the "true Little Gem."
