CALLAS 
The White Calla is rarely used except for 
house blooms; but the hardier spotted-leaved 
variety, Elliottiana, is also much used in gar¬ 
dens for the beauty of its foliage as a border, 
and its delightful flowers for late summer cut¬ 
ting. The bulbs should be set out after danger 
of frost is past, and dug up again in the fall 
for drying off and winter storage.
