x RICHARDIA (Calla or Arum Lily), a charming family of greenhouse plants. R. africana 
should be grown out of doors during Summer and be brought into the greenhouse 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

a rich compost, as these plants are gross feeders. Abundance of water should be given as 
growth proceeds.
