It is our good fortune to have come into possession of 
this most valuable of all Callas. The following facts will 
convince anyone of its great superiority over the old sort. 
It is of a dwarf habit and does not grow tall and scraggly 
like the old variety, but is strong and compact with a great 
abundance of lustrous dark green foliage. It is a true ever- 
bloomer, its flowers appearing in great abundance both sum¬ 
mer and winter when growli in pots, or it will bloom pro¬ 
fusely all summer long in open ground and being potted in 
September, will continue blooming without intermission all 
winter. The same plant will grow and bloom for years 
without once ceasing, and the quantity of bloom which a 
good plant will produce is astonishing. It is estimated that 
six plants of the old sort will not produce so many flowers in 
the course of a year as will one plant of this new dwarf vari¬ 
ety. A large plant is hardly ever without one or more flow¬ 
ers and its dwarf compact habit makes it a much more de¬ 
sirable pot plant than the old variety. Its flowers are of 
large size and snowy white in color. All in all it is one of 
the most desirable plants we ever offered. Strong plants 
for blooming at once, 30c. each; 3 for 75c. 
The YelloW Galla- 
The Yellow Calla (CaUa Ha&tata) is one of the rarest and 
most eagerly sought of all bulbs, and we have this year, for 
the first time, got a good large stock of large flowering bulbs 
to offer. They should be potted in the spring and they will 
start growth at once and commence blooming in a short 
time. The bulbs are strong and send up a rank growth of 
beautiful leaves and numerous flowers, which are a bright 
golden yellow with a black center. The color is one of the 
most beautiful shades of yellow seen among flowers, and the 
jet black center lends to the blossom a peculiar charm. 
Bulbs are very scarce, and may seem high in price yet it 
was only two years ago that they sold for $2.00 each. Fine 
flowering bulbs, 75c. each ; 3 for $2.00. 
SPECIAL OFFER 
FourXFIne Callas for $1.00. 
For only $1.00 we will send one each of these 4 fine Callas, 
viz.: Little Gem, Spotted Childs 1 Everblooming, and New 
Yellow.
