THE CALLA LILIES (Zsntedeschias) 
They make splendid winter-blooming pot plants, or they 
can be handled to flower in the garden in summer, where 
they will give most unusual, and attractive, decorative 
effects. All this applies to the kinds listed here, but with 
two exceptions that should be noted. The Black Calla will 
please best if handled only for winter pot-flowering, and 
the Spotted Calla when grown only for summer garden 
flowering, where, incidentally, it has its greatest effective¬ 
ness as a pool-edge or stream margin plant. About that 
choice of summer or winter flowering with the others; 
you will have to make up your mind as to which. Don’t 
try both seasons in succession with the same tubers. During 
the “off” season, let the dormant or semi-dormant roots 
rest in a cool cellar. All Callas grow quite quickly and 
easily from seed, save the Black Calla, this being a bit 
slower in germinating. Illustrated, page 46.

32 CALOCHORTUS or BUTTERFLY TULIP 
Though Calochortus is not a Tulip at all, and quite cer¬ 
tainly not a Butterfly, it is yet a gloriously beautiful thing 
that every one of us should have in our gardens. The bulbs 
grow readily from seeds given “y” treatment, (see page 
one), and while one must wait a bit for them to- reach 
flowering size, growing the bulbs from seed is an easy 
way to get them in quantity at low cost. Mulch the bulbs 
well with straw or litter in late autumn, and they will 
winter through safely, at least they do with us. Calochorti 
vary exceedingly in form and color of blossoming. There 
will be downy stars, fairy lanterns, and then great butter¬ 
flies of flowers three to four inches across, in hues of the 
rainbow; banded, blotched, embossed in colors and tones 
contrasting. Pink, rose, lilac, lavender, cream, citron, rich 
yellow, even orange scarlet, will appear. Height varies 
from 8 inches to two feet. If you want in your garden, 
something that is very different, yet strikingly beautiful, 
then plant Calochortus. Illustrated, pa</e 20. Splendid mix¬ 
ture, covering full range of color and form. Pkt. 15c; A 
oz. 30c; % oz. 50c; *4 oz. 90c.
