White Callas are generally kept too moist. It is reproduced 
from a corm or root and not a bulb, in many ways having he 
characteristics of a potato and is greatly susceptible to storage 
rots and soil fungus disease. It is easy to carry these troubles 
over in soil that is used in the greenhouses from year to year 
and oftentimes poor results are laid to the corm, where the 
principal trouble is in the soil and handling; be very careful of 
the source of your soil. As the corm is subject to many bac¬ 
terial and fungus rots, present in a great many soils, our 
growers recommend soaking the corms in a solution of one part 
commercial formaldehyde to 50 parts of lukewarm water 
for a period of one hour; the corm should be thoroughly dried 
after treatment before planting. The corm should not be 
stored for a great length of time, but should be planted as 
soon as possible after delivery. The soil should have perfect 
drainage, although a fairly retentive soil is best. Do not use 
a surplus of manure as it is conducive to fungus conditions. 
GODFREY EVERBLOOMING CALLA (Ready Now) 
The Godfrey Calla is pure glistening white, almost as large a 
flower as the Aethiopica; set on a more slender stem, however, it 
carries itself in a more graceful manner. Size for size, which 
means a great deal in benching or potting, Godfrey roots should 
produce 40% to 60% more flowers than the Aethiopica; it is a more 
thrifty grower and stock seems generally less susceptible to 
disease. We cannot recommend too highly the planting of the 
Godfrey Calla under proper conditions as a money-maker.
