Hardy Lilies, Continued 
Qalla Lilies 
These are in great favor for grow¬ 
ing in pots, where they quickly come 
into bloom and provide a brilliant 
showing of flower for many weeks. In 
favored locations they may be grown 
in the open garden. For pot culture, 
provide ample drainage in deep pots, 
with a soil half loam and half leaf- 
mold; keep moist. In the fall the bulbs 
should be lifted and kept dry for next 
season’s planting. 
THE SPOTTED-LEAF WHITE 
CALLA, Zantedeschia albona- 
culata, is the choicest of all the 
White Callas, for its fine bloom 
and unusually handsome foliage. 
May be grown outdoors as well as 
in pots. Extra size mature bulbs, 
each 30c; 10 for $2.25. 
THE GOLDEN YELLOW CALLA, 
Calla Elliottiana, in great de¬ 
mand as a pot plant, has white 
spotted foliage and bears freely its 
brilliant buttercup-yellow flowers 
on strong stems. Blooming size 
bulbs, each 20c; 3 for 50c; 10 
for $1.5 0. 
THE RARE PINK CALLA, Richar- 
dii. Latest, most beautiful novelty 
of the Calla family; very scarce, being a recent introduction. We are fortunate in being able to 
offer a limited number of large blooming size bulbs. The flower is a strikingly beautiful thing in a 
rich, soft, deep amethyst-pink shade, 
quite unique among flowers. May be 
grown like the Yellow Calla. 
Each $1.00; 3, the limit, for $2.50. 
Large quantity prices on Callas for 
commercial planting will be quoted to 
nurserymen and florists on application.

A CHOICE ALL-SEASON POT PLANT 
This interesting and uncommon pot 
plant from Central America is distinguished 
by its profuse showing of bloom and its very 
long flowering season. This variety, A. lon- 
giflora, bears large, long-tubed flowers of 
exquisite shades of purple and is not difficult 
to handle; it is an excellent house plant. We 
furnish the dormant rhizomes until about 
May 1st of each season. These should be 
planted 6 to 8 in a 5-inch pot that is one- 
third filled with drainage material; plant in 
slanting position one-inch deep in a soil 
composed of one-third each of loam, leaf- 
mold and sand and be sure to keep moist at 
all times; keep away from hot sun; and you 
will have a lovely showing for many months. 
Blooming size rhizomes, 6 for 40c; 12 
for 75c; 25 for $1.35. Prepaid. 
BLUE ACHIMENES—Like the above but 
bearing flowers of a pleasing blue shade. 
6 for 50c; 25, $ 1.50.
