xRICHARDIA CCalla or Arum Lily), a charming family of greenhouse plants. R. 
africana (^thiopica) is much prized for its beautiful large white flowers ; this and its 
varieties should be grown out of doors during Summer and be brought into the greenhouse at 
the approach of Winter. The other Richardias such as Elliottlana, Pentlandii, Rossi, etc. , 
should be kept dry, away from frost during Winter, and then be started in a gentle bottom heat 
in February or March, and finally j>lanted out in May. The natural soil should be taken out 
to a depth of 9 inches, and be replaced by a very rich compost, as these plants are gross 
feeders. Abundance of water should be given as growth proceeds. The plants may also be 
grown on and flowered in the greenhouse. Albo-maculata and Hastata may also be planted 
out of doors in a dry state in April for Summer-flowering.
