RICH ARDIA (Calla or Arum Lily), a charming family of greenhouse plants. R. africana 
and its varieties should be grown out of doors during Summer and be brought into the green- 
house at the approach of Winter. The other species should be kept dry, away from frost 
during Winter, and be started in a gentle bottom heat in February or March. They may then 
be grown on in pots for greenhouse decoration or planted out of doors in a sheltered position 
in May. In the latter case the natural soil should be taken out to a depth of 9 inches, and 
be replaced by a rich compost, as these plants are gross feeders. Abundance of water 
should be given as growth proceeds. Glory of Hlllegom and Mrs. Roosevelt may also 
be planted out of doors in a dry state in April for Summer-flowering.

SCILLAS— Early-flowerin^r, The effect in early Spring can hardly be overestimated of 
the intense brilliant blue of Scilla sibirica, and the deep blue of S. bifolia, contrasting 
with the snowy whiteness of the Snowdrop and varied hues of the Crocus. As edgings and 
masses in beds and borders they are most valuable. Bifolia and Sibirica taurica are the 
first to bloom. All suitable for naturalisation and permanent flower borders. In pots or 
jardinets, alone or with other bulbs, they form a pleasing variety amongst indoor plants.
