THE CALLA LILIES 
The Callas (Zantedeschias), make splendid 
winter pot plants, or they may be grown for 
flowering in the summer garden, resting them in 
winter in the cellar. Arum Pictum is even win¬ 
ter-hardy with protection. They grow easily from 
seed, and all like moisture. Excellent for cutting, 
echw.

give cool soil, otherwise seed will sulk.

be worth naming. Growing Hybrid Gladioli from 
seed is a most fascinating work. Any new flower 
may be a prize.

species with palest blush blossoms.

Gladiolus, with carmine markings.
