Ettyiopica. 
Our new varieties o£ Calla Ethiopica are really marvels. The gigan¬ 
tic size of Giantissima. and the great blooming dualities of Chilasiana 
place those two new sorts far in advaneo of all others. 
Giantissima—Most superb of all Callas. In size and magnificence it is truly a 
wonder. Leaves two feetlong and llowers a foot in length, three times larger 
than ami other CaUa. It is a strong, quick grower, but requires a large pot 
and a little time to bring it to perfection. Foliage very dark rich green. 
Flowers snow-white ami open unusually flat and broad. Wo have had single 
plants showing 10 or more of those raagniiicent blossoms at onco. Our cut 
shows comparative size of Giantissima and the Com¬ 
mon Calla. Fine bulbs. Hoc. each: 3 for 75c. 
Chlldslana -The latest floral sensation of Holland, where 
this wonderful new Calla was originated and named. 
Exceedingly dwarf and very compact, with large blos¬ 
soms which arc borne in a profusion never before seen: 
as many as a dozen flowers are to bo seen on one plant 
at a time, and nearly all of the time. Those flowers 
are of good size, beautiful shape and the most showy 
whiteness. They open remarkably flat. Foliago 
healthy and vigorous, and more nea rly heart-shaped 
than any Calla. It is a long way in advance of all otlie 
Callas. having such an ideal habit and flue flowers in 
such wonderful profusion every day in the year. 25c.

Burbank’s Dwarf Bverblootning “ Fragrans ” — This 
new Calla was originated by Lutiier Burbank, of Cali¬ 
fornia, who speaks of it thus: “The plants are of 
medium size,compact in growth, and bloom profusely. 
It has not only a most charming flower produced in a 
profusion never before surpassed, but also with a gen¬ 
uine, sweet, lasting fragrance all its own. but similar to 
the fragrance of Violets or Lilies.” Does not grow tall 
and scraggy like the old variety, hut is strong and com¬ 
pact. with a great abundance of dark green foliage. It 
is a true everbloomer, its flowers appearing in great 
abundanee both summer and winter when grown in 
pots, or it will bloom profusely 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 ceas¬ 
ing, and the quantity of blooms which a good plant will 
produce is astonishing. It is estimated that six plants 
of the old Calla will not produce so many flowers in the 
course of a year as will one plant of this new variety. 
A large plant is hardly ever without one or more flow¬ 
ers. and Us dwarf, compact habit makes it a much 
more desirable pot plaut. 25c. each; 3 for Boo. 
Little Gem Prsecox — A new European Calla, which 
created a sensation on account of its dwarf, compact 
habit, and profusion of large blossoms. It produces 
many flowers at once, which are of great size and snowy 
whiteness, borne on plants that are exceedingly small. 
20c. each; 3 forsoe. 
White Lady—The latest Calla Novelty. Flowers beauti¬ 
ful in form and freely borne, plant compact and sym¬ 
metrical in growth. Quite distinct and very tine.
