Scilla hyacinthoides. One of the finest Scillas. The raceme of blue flowers is 
often over 2 ft. tall. Bulbs are excellent keepers and we have a few that can 
be planted in later winter in pots or garden. 25c. 
Galtonia candicans. Summer Hyacinths. 4’ scape with many white bell 
shaped flowers. For landscape use in background or for cut flowers. Bulbs 
delivered in late fall (when dormant) to early spring. Hardy if quite well 
protected and mulched tho storage may be better. 10c ea. $1.00 doz. Super 
Jumbo bulbs, 20c ea. 
Veltheimia viridifolia. Neither a picture nor words can accurately portray 
the beauty of this plant. For foliage alone it is superior. The vivid green leaves 
are wavy margined and form a nice rosette. In pots, or in the garden in Qo. 
Calif. and other mild climates, it is in bloom by Dec. 15 and continues for about 
three months as large bulbs send up two or more spikes. The tubular, droop- 
ing flowers are densely placed on a long raceme. The color is a deep rosy or 
purplish pink of ineffable tones not found in any other flowers. 
Culture is very easy. It prefers a sandy soil to which peat or leaf mould 
has been added. In pots the drainage should be perfect. 
We have succeeded in holding over a few bulbs in larger size at 75c to 
$1.00. They will flower about early spring. These must be ordered before 
February 15. 
OXALIS FAMILY. Owxalidaceae 
There are two types, winter growing and summer growing Oxalis. We list 
several winter growers in our Fall Catalog. The following are summer growing: 
Oxalis Deppei. Four large leaflets. Deep rose pink flowers on a tall stem. 
A fine species. 4 for 15c. 35c doz. Extra large, 5c ea. 
O. lasiandra. The prettiest summer Oxalis. Tall plant with 7-10 leaflets. 
Rosy carmine flowers. 5c ea. 6 for 25c. Jumbo bulbs, 10c. 
O. sp. not known. The name we bought this under was ‘‘Shamrock” but 
we doubt if this is the true Shamrock as there are only three leaflets. The 
flowers are white, tinted lavendar. 4 for 10c. 25c doz. 
Winter Growing Oxalis. We have a few that are much sprouted but will 
grow and flower. Bermuda Butter Cup, Grand Duchess, Cavender and Hirta. 
3 bulbs for 10c. Order before February 15 only. 
ARUM FAMILY. Araceae 
This Family includes Calla Lilies or Zantedeschias, Arums, etc. 
Culture. White Callas should be started in the fall, hence not listed here. 
Zantedeschias or Colored Callas, may be potted (in the north or south) any 
time between Dec. 15 and Mar. 1. See Potting Directions on earlier page. They 
may be planted in the garden in the north as soon as danger of freezing passes. 
Light frost will not hurt if a mulch of leaves be given. 
In the south Colored Callas may usually be planted from late Jan. until 
Apr. 1, but early planting is advised as late planted bulbs may not flower. 
‘Plant in the garden 2” or 3” deep. A little shade is best. Soil must be 
acid. Use peat or leaf mould liberally and increase soil acidity by sprinkling 
sulphur over bulbs before covering. 
Do not water potted bulbs much until started. Keep potted plants in a 
cool room in full sun. When growing, Callas require much water, constantly. 
Zantedeschia. albo-maculata. Spotted leaf calla. White flower, purple 
throat. Spear shaped spotted leaves are very attractive. S. 10c. Good blooming 
size 20c. Jumbo, 25c. per doz. $1.00, $2.00 and $2.50. 
Z. elliotiana. Pure deep yellow calla. Most beautiful of all. We are sold 
out of small bulbs but can supply a limited number of extra large bulbs at 25c 
and 35c ea. 
_Z. rehmanni. Genuine calla flowers of rose pink. Plant 12” tall. 50c, 75c 
and $1:00 ea. The 50c size is not as sure to bloom as the larger. 
Amorphophallus rivieri. Sacred Lily of India. 3 ft. tall with rich tropical 
foliage which should be seen in every tropical garden. Flowers nearly: 3 ft. 
long, calla shaped, rich chocolate, dotted red. Bad odor at first.. Only’-large
