Z. albo-maculata. Spotted Leaf Calla. White flower. The spear shaped spotted 
leaves are most decorative even without flowers. 20c and 35c ea. Jumbos 50c ea. 
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, 35c and 50c ea. $2.00, $3.50 
and $5.00 per doz. 
Z. rehmanni. Pink Callas. These are scarce this year. We sold out our own. Bought 
more and sold them. We have only a small remnant of very large bulbs for $1.00 and 
$1.50 ea. These are mostly the shell pink var. “elegans” that is almost white when forced. 
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 ea. Only largest bloom and our largest may not all bloom. 
Sauromatum venosum. Lizard Lily. The spathe is very long, narrow, lies on ground 
and is serpent like in color. Same culture as above. Hardy. Order early as all bloom 
by Mar. usually. Bulbs at 10c to $1.50. Only largest bloom. 
Fancy Leaf Caladiums 
They are the most gorgeous pot plants grown. The foliage shows the brilliant and 
exquisite tones of the Lily and Orchid, the richness of Coleus and the luscious shades of 
the Rose. There is not a single plant in creation that will condense so much color in an 
equal space. They are perfect pot plants. 
Culture. They should have very rich sandy loam, with equal quantity of humus. 
This humus should be half well rotted dairy manure. If old dairy manure is not available, 
use fine rotted leaf mould. Enough of the humus should be peat to render the soil at 
least neutral to slightly acid. pH 6.5 to 7 will do. 
Caladiums must have warmth in all stages. When starting and growing. Even 
when dormant, store the bulbs in a warm room. Do not try to start the bulbs in a cool 
room. They must not be planted outside until quite warm. Caladiums are chiefly 
used as pot plants. They do well in outside gardens but require much humidity. In the 
dry air of So. Calif. the plants should have constantly moist soil. Semi-aquatic conditions 
are fine but not -wholly essential. But start them off with only slight moisture. When 
they are up, gradually increase. Give very weak liquid fertilizer when in full growth. 
Plant about 3” deep. Full sun brings out the rich colors but So. Calif. sun is too “full.” 
We give slight shade.
