A rare bulbous plant that is very hardy. The tall flower-stalks, 
rising from a tuft of long, narrow leaves, are crowned by a flower-spike

White Calla Lily 
White Callas are generally kept too moist. They are repro¬ 
duced from a corm or root and not a bulb, and are susceptible to 
storage rots and soil-fungus disease. As the corm is subject to 
many bacterial 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 pot be stored 
for a great length of time, but should be planted as soon as 
possible after delivery.
