GOLDEN YELLOW CALLA (Richardia Elliottiana) _Entirely 
distinct and unlike all other forms of yellow Callas* it has 
the same habit of growth as the ordinary white variety with 
flowers of same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lustrous 
golden-yellow color ; the foliage is dark green, with a number 
of translucent creamy-white spots, which add much to its 
beauty. It is but a few years ago that this sold at a very 
high price. We are now able to offer strong, blooming bulbs 
at 35 cents each; $3.00 per dozen; $20.00 per hundred. 
SPOTTED CALLA (Richardia Alba Maculata) — Plant with 
beautiful spotted leaves. It flowers abundantly during the 
summer months when planted out in the open border. It

shaped like those of a Calla. and are pure white, shaded 
with violet inside. Keep dry in the winter, and start in the 
spring like a Dahlia. Blooming bulbs, 75 cents per dozen;

facts will convince anyone of its great superiority over the 
old sort. Of dwarf habit. The same plant will grow and 
bloom for years, and the quantity of bloom which a good

the most desirable plants we have ever offered. 60 cents

Gladioli blooms. The coloring is exquisite. The ground work 
of many is pure white, with throats of blue, scarlet, rose, crim¬ 
son or velvety purple, while others are beautifully flecked and 
striped with the brightest colors, and the tubes are of a bright 
color with white throat. The bulbs should be started in a warm 
place, greenhouse, hotbed or sunny window. They will bloom 
until late in summer, when they should be dried off, letting the 
leaves die. The pots can be kept over winter in a cellar free 
from frost. They are very easily grown. Fine bulbs of choic¬ 
est varieties, 40 cents per dozen; $3.00 per hundred. 
THE GRANDEST OF ALL GLADIOLI 
Good &. Reese’s International Mixture 
Our International Mixture is the best in the world, and we

until you see these flowers. This Mixture includes all the new 
strains, such as “Gray’s Inglesides.” “Burbank's California Se¬ 
lects.” “Childsii,” and “Groff’s Hybrids.” It is difficult to de¬ 
scribe flowers of such varied and peculiar beauty as these 
Gladioli. They are very tall and erect, often standing four or 
five feet high, with spikes of bloom over two feet in length. 
Hundred, 60 cents; thousand, $5.00.
