GERMAIN'S EXQUISITE NOVELTY 
THE RARE PINK CALLA 
(Richardia Rehmannii) 
This charming and rare member of the Calla family is unlike all others 
in color, size and appearance. We believe it will become one of the most 
sought after pot plants for the conservatory, sun porch and window 
garden. In California and Southern states it is quite at home in semi- 
shaded spots in the garden. 
The flowers of this lovely miniature Calla are a warm shade of carmine 
rose in color and about 2 inches in diameter. The plants reach a height 
of 1% feet. The bulbs are of rounded form and smaller than the common 
Calla; they bloom readily in the open ground and in pots. 
First Size Bulbs—$1.00 each; 3 for $2.50; $10.00 per doz. 
Second Size Bulbs—75c each; 3 for $1.90; $7.50 per doz. 
rill TI1RF The new Pink Calla is a very attractive pot plant, blooming 
V/ULIU c ' about 10 weeks after starting. Plant one bulb in a 5-inch pot 
or 3 bulbs in a 6-inch pot, using rich sandy loam and covering the bulbs 
one inch with soil. A bright room where they receive plenty of light 
without much direct sunlight is best. Do not water much until growth 
is well started after that water regularly. Liquid fertilizer may be used 
after 2 or 3 leaves are formed. The temperature should not go below 
50 degrees for good continuous growth. For garden use they may be 
set out in a shaded or partly shaded place after the weather warms up 
in spring. Plant them 3 inches deep and 
8 to 10 inches apart. Water frequently in 
dry weather.
