or if roots have been removed. When Cymbidiums are moved, the roots die back to 
the pseudo-bulb. Roots usually start in about 6 weeks if you treat plants as advised. 
In pots, they are reasonably easy. They can be grown in the same compost as 
required by Begonias or in soil as we described for outdoor culture. Give them a warm 
situation, not as cool as most plants require. We suggest an 8” or 10” pot. They can 
be set in an 8” pot and shifted when necessary. 
The plants we offer consist of a single pseudo-bulb and foliage. They should 
flower in two years with correct culture. We have less than 1% flower in a year or 
less, tho it can happen. Even large plants when moved without soil require a year. 
We send out only good plants. We have been held responsible for plants that died 
from no water at all and from too much. We cannot longer accept responsibility for 
wrong handling. 
We ship by prepaid parcel post but we do not accept responsibility for freezing in 
transit to the north. You can avoid this risk by asking for delivery after April 1, or 
have them shipped by express, f.o.b. 
Named Varieties cost about $7.50 to $10.00. A few rate a price of $20.00 to $50.00 
and even more. We can furnish all those listed in our fall catalog at the same prices 
except Veitchii, which is now priced $6.50. But on account of our offer of unlabeled 
plants last fall at a real bargain we sold few of these and do not list them here. If you 
do not have our Fall Catalog we will send it, first class mail, for 3c stamp or by Air 
Mail for 16c stamp. 
Cymbidium Special. A large number of excellent named sorts, some rare, were 
accidentally mixed. If you are a beginner why pay at least 50% more for labeled plants? 
If you buy more than one, each will be taken from a different clump and may be 
different. Priced $5.00 ea. $60.00 doz. Strongest plants with a new bud started, 
$6.00 ea. or with two or more started $7.00 ea. No quantity discounts. 
THE CALLA LILY FAMILY—Araceae 
This family contains the so-called Calla Lilies or Zantedeschias, Fancy Leaf 
Caladiums and the genera, Sauromatum, Amorphophallus and others listed in our 
Spring. catalogs. 
Culture. Baby Callas are the only white callas that can be moved now. Grow them 
in slight shade to full sun in pots or garden. The soil should be half sandy loam, half 
fine leaf mould. Baby Calla is evergreen and should never be dried off. 
The Colored Callas, Yellow, Pink and Spotted Leaf do exceptionally well in pots. 
They start more easily now than in late Dec. Give them a 5” or 6” pot, soil like Baby. 
Cover bulb 1”. Keep only moist, not wet, until well up. Give them a warm sunny 
window. If too sunny a lace curtain may be enough shade. They usually bloom quite 
early, only a few weeks after planting. They are fine in the garden. Here we plant 
Feb. 15 to Apr. 1, in a lath house or other half shade. Dig bulbs and keep them dry 
as soon at tops yellow. See other culture notes with the listings. 
Zantedeschia aethiopica var. Baby Calla. This is the smallest and whitest calla. 
Small enough for corsage. We send small bulbs as the large bulbs make larger flowers, 
approaching in size those of Godfrey. For tiny 1” flowers replant your small bulbs. 
20c ea. 3 for 50c. $1.75 per doz. 
Z. albo-maculata. Spotted Leaf Calla. White flower. The spear shaped spotted 
leaves are most decorative even without flowers. 20c. $2.00 per doz. 
Z. elliotiana. Yellow Calla. The most desirable colored Calla. The lovely deep 
yellow flowers, with the spotted foliage, make a perfect, easily grown and low priced 
pot plant. Ours are extra fine, high crowned bulbs. 20c, 25c and 30c ea. 
Z. rehmanni elegans. Its shell pink flowers, many think, are nicer than the darker 
type. It is also taller, larger and easier to grow. Jumbo bulbs, 2”-2%", 75c. 
Amorphophallus revieri. Sacred Lily of India. Rich tropical foliage and 2 ft. long 
flowers. Arum “fragrance.” Plant 4” deep, half shade, early spring or pot now. Bulbs 
at 10c, 50c, $1.00 up to $2.50. Only largest bloom.
