OXALIS FAMILY—Oxalidaceae 
There are two types, the winter and the summer growing. The summer growing 
species are listed in our spring catalogs. The following are all winter growers. These 
are brightest and most vivid of winter flowers for a sunny window or in the garden 
in the south. They give a profusion of bloom over several months period. A bed looks 
re a carpet of solid pink, rose, white, yellow, etc. The flowers are large, some over 1” 
iam. 
Culture. Plant about 2” deep, 3” apart. Large bulbs may be farther apart and a little 
deeper. In pots, the smaller may go 6 in a 4” pot. Use good rich soil, altho they will 
grow in any soil. Give full sun exposure as they open only in full light and close at night. 
Order and plant early as they begin to sprout even in August. But they may be shipped 
even with long sprouts up to mid-October. 
Oxalis Bowiei. A large plant with bright rose red flowers. 3 bulbs to a 5” pot. 5c ea. : 
50c doz. $3.75 per 100. Largest size 10c ea. 
O. cernua. Bermuda Buttercup. Deep golden yellow flowers. Very profuse. 5c ea. 
50c doz. $3.50 per 100. 
O. Grand Duchess. Low growing plants, but give a profusion of very large flowers 
in three colors. The Pink, Lavender and White, 5c ea. 45c doz. $3.00 per 100. Largest 
size 10c ea. 
O. Hirta. One of the finest winter Oxalis, and most unusual as it makes a leafy. stem 
that to some extent falls over and will trail down the sides of a pot. Nice for hanging 
baskets. The flowers are deep rosy red. Contrary to most Oxalis species, Hirta does better 
and blooms better in part shade. Even in our bulb trays, the smallest bulbs bloom from 
the dry soilless bulbs in the deep shade of our storage sheds. The fact that flowers open 
on dull, winter days makes it a ‘‘must have.” 5c ea. 50c doz. $3.00 per 100. 
Oxalis crassipes. Flowers bright rose. Evergreen and everblooming. Increases by 
tubers and can be moved at any time. Plant at once. Large tubers, 25c ea. 6 for $1.00. 
Oxalis Special. The bulbs offered in this lot are assorted in size and color. They 
will all flower well. Some are accidentally mixed, others are surplus. Price 30 for $1.00. 
THE CALLA LILY FAMILY—Araceae 
This family contains the so-called Calla Lilies or Zantedeschia, Black Callas and 
other Aroids. 
Culture. All Zantedeschias and Arum palaestinum are suitable for pot culture. 
A. palaestinum will start about September or later. Do not put this bulb into moist soil 
before that or it will rot. Zantedeschias—pink, yellow and spotted leaf—may be potted 
by about Dec. 15. Don’t rush them, as too much water before they start to grow may rot 
them. They may be held back and started in early spring, here in late February. All do 
well in the garden in a moist semi-shaded cool place. They are not hardy in cold 
climates; dig in fall. The White Calla usually blooms in California in the garden in late 
winter. They may be planted in early fall in pots or garden. All do best in mildly acid 
soils, on sandy side. 
It is an error to keep large White Callas growing continuously. If rested thru 
summer you will be rewarded with flowers. A rest brings flowers when they start again, 
often twice or more in a year. The Baby Calla should not be allowed to lose its foliage. 
Callas as pot plants need some sun, enough to prevent spindly growth, plenty of light 
and like all plants, good ventilation. They need abundant water but good drainage.
