summer growing kinds are listed in our spring catalog. The following are win¬

and other Aroids. 
Culture. All Zantedeschias and Arum palaestinum are suitable for pot 
culture. A. palaestinum will start about Sept, or later. Do not put this bulb into

and started in the spring. They all do well in the garden in a very moist semi- 
shaded place. They are not hardy in cold climates; dig in fall. The White Cal¬

keep them growing continuously. If rested through summer you will be re-
