CALLAS . . . Their Culture 
From Bulletin of the Illinois State Florists' Association, Urbana, Illinois, Prof. H. B. Dorner, Editor. 
"CALLAS — As a result of our experiences the past few seasons, we have decided to put all 
of our Callas in pots. When the plants are in pots any which show signs of disease can be 
discarded before the disease has a chance to spread the way it does in the bench. Last year 
we disinfected part of the bulbs with corrosive sublimate, part with formaldehyde, while some 
were left untreated. Toward spring soft rot started in the untreated end of the bench and 
spread through the other sections. This may occur, as this spring to some extent, even where 
all of the bulbs are treated. This is not an argument against treating Calla bulbs, which is well 
worth while, but on the other hand there may be rotted spots in some bulbs which are not 
reached by disinfectant. Clean the bulbs carefully, treat them, and then, for maximum safety, 
plant in pots."
