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. 
Butterfly. Yellow to buff with red lip. $12.50 ea. 
Doreen. Greenish orange, yellow lip, spotted purple. $12.50. 
Giganteum. A robust, large plant. Flowers are smaller than some but as they are 
first to flower they have no competition. $12.50. 
Insigne. White, flushed pink to deep rose pink. Very small plant. Thus well 
adapted for growing in pots. One year old plants with back bulb attached. Single 
plants, $7.50. 
Moira. Shades of cream and yellow with crimson and purple markings on lip. $15.00. 
Veitchii. This species grows vigorously and multiplies rapidly. It has very pretty, 
large flowers with the fault of having few flowers on the stem. $8.50. 
Winter Cheer. Cream with pink dots and veins. Red dot on lip. $12.50. 
Zebra. Tall, robust plant. Pink flowers. $15.00. 
Assorted varieties. These are small, 1 yr. old plants attached to back bulbs. The 
bulbs were from a well known eastern cut flower grower who had some very good 
imported varieties. He refused to label bulbs hence no name attached to these. Single 
plants, $6.50, until June 1. Thereafter, $7.50. 
Epidendron O’brienianum. The tall stems grow to a height of 3 ft. or more, are 
slender and require the support of adjoining plants or stakes. As the plant grows it 
produces terminal clusters of flowers thruout all the year, when warm. This large cluster 
is composed of many small brilliant red flowers of a typical orchid form. Below each 
cluster as it withers, a lateral bud develops and continues the upward growth. At its 
base aerial roots develop. Propagation is effected by planting these air-rooted branches. 
Culture. Epidendrons need a warm, almost full sun exposure and constant but not 
excessive moisture. They will grow in well drained sandy or sandy loam soil containing 
some gravel but it is better to incorporate 50% leaf mould or 35% or more peat for a 
distance of a foot around and under the plant. . 
Price of E. O’brienianum: Cutting with aerial roots, 75c. 
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 fall 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. Manure water is a good fertilizer, 
when growing well. 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 
ee Dig bulbs and keep them dry as soon as tops yellow. See other culture notes with 
istings. | 
Zantedeschia aethiopica var. Baby Calla. This is the smallest and the 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.
