This is undoubtedly the greatest novelty in the plant line that has 
been introduced within the past twenty-five years. The WackCallacamc 
•rom Egypt, and the bulbs which we offer were imported direct from 
lemsalcm, where they are grown, 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 
lave made the price low enough to be within the reach of all who desire 
ind prize this wonderful and scarce plant. 
It is very difficult, and we might say impossible, to describethe beauty 
.f this rare flower. The accompanying illustration conveys only a par- 
tial idea of its distinctive splendor. The lovely flowers are sweet-scented, 
and often over a foot long, and seven to nine inches across; color, the 
richest velvety black imaginable; spike rises ten to twelve inches, and is 
ebony black; foliage a lovely rich shade of green. Our friends will be 
glad to learn that this splendid novelty can be grown as easily as the 
common white Calla. 86c. each.

Here we have another plant that Iwlongs with this class. It is similar 
to the white Calla in flower, but the foliage is distinct and exceedingly 
andsome, the dark green leaves being beautifully spotted with white. 
We have made the price verj- low for the entire collection of Callas, so 
8 to be within the reach of every one. Strong plants 35c. each. 
WHITE Cfllilifl. 
This lovely Calla was introduced years ago, and there is probably no 
(bnt so popular for house culture at the present time. Its beautiful 
pure snow-white flowers and spear-shaped leaves are almost always 
found in the window garden. It requires plenty of water and can be 
made to flower at almost any season of the year. Strong plants 28c. 
each.

Waban.— A ^rrand new rose. Flowers are borne on strong stems, and 
resemble Mermet in shape. Color carmine pink, shaded light toward 
the edge of the petals. This is a gem in every sense of the word, and 
bound to become one of the most popular roses in cultivation. Very 
scarce. 35c. each. 
Climbing Niphetos.— The well-known Niphetos has long been con- 
sidered one of the loveliest white roses in cultivation, producing its long, 
pointed, pure white flowers in the greatest profusion. This is a sport 
from that variety, and resembles it in all except growth, this l>eing a 
strong, vigorous grower, often making shoots fifteen feet long in a sm- 
gle season. 25o. each. , , , j. j ■ 
Climbing Perle.— This is a sport from the Perle des Jardms, and is 
really the onlv true climbing yellow rose in existence. In profusion o( 
bloom and fragrance it resembles its parent, but the flowers are of a 
much brighter yellow. Don't fail to include this rose in your order.
