White Calla 
Showy plants with large, richly colored, beautifully formed Lily-like 
flowers, easily grown indoors in pots during the winter and spring. The 
bulbs should be potted as soon as received, using soil comprised of equal 
parts of good fibrous loam, well-decomposed manure, and leaf mold, to 
which sufficient coarse sand should be added to make it loose and 
friable. Pot should be deep and one inch wider than the diameter of 
the bulb. Set bulb so that half is above the surface. Water sparingly 
until flower-stem appears.
