BERMUDA EASTER I.ILV 
Black Caila, — This is undoubtedly the greatest novelty in the 
plant line that has been introduced within the past twenty-five 
years. The black. Calla came from Kgyt, and the bulbs which we 
offer were imported direct from Jerusalem, wherethey aregrown, 
making a valuable souvenir of the Holy Land. Until very 
recently this rare lily has been seen only in the rich botanical 
collections, few people being able to 
purchase it on account of the great 
cost. We have at last been able to 
secure quite a stock, and have made 
the price low enough to be within the 
reach of all who desire and prize this 
wonderful and scarce plant. Price, 
COc. each. 
Spotted Calla.— Here we have an- 
other plant thatbelongs with thisclass 
is similar to the white Calla in llower, 
h\it the foliage is distinct and cxceed- 
inglj' handsome, the dark green leaves 
being beautifullj' spotted with white. 
We have made the price very low for 
the entire collection of Callas, so asto 
be within the reach of ever^-one. Price, 
30c. each; 4 for $1.00.

requires plenty of water and can be '

of the years. Strong plants 25c. each.
