White Callas are generally kept too moist. They are repro¬ 
duced from a corm or root and not a bulb, in many ways having 
the characteristics of a potato and is greatly susceptible to stor¬ 
age 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.
