Zantedeschia aethiopica, var. Baby Calla. We are positively out of this var- 
iety for the present. Please do not order or inquire for it. 5 
Z. aethiopica var. Godfrey Calla. This is the medium sized White Calla Lily. 
Grows to a height of 2 or 3 ft. It is much more suitable for growing in pots than 
the large type and the flowers are sufficiently large. They also bloom more 
freely. These are easy in pots, 7” in diam. They should be potted or planted in 
the garden as early as possible for winter bloom, tho they can usually be held 
back until mid-winter. Plant with bulbs covered by an inch or so of soil, ina 
good rich sandy soil with humus added. Blooming sizes at 20c and 35c. Largest 
bulbs for 50c each. 
Z. rehmanni. Dark rose pink variety. 50c. - 
Z. rehmanni var. elegans. This variety has light pink flowers of a lovely 
shade. It is taller, larger and a better grower than the dark pink. More easy also 
to force in pots, but when forced many report they produce white flowers. Even 
in the garden some flowers are white with shell pink tintings. But the white ones 
are still lovely, more so than the white Aethiopica. 50c ea. 
Arum palaestinum. Black Calla or Solomon’s Lily. Foliage and flower like 
callas. Really black. Plant 4” deep and not before September 1. If not kept per- 
fectly dry until that time the bulbs rot. Flowers in February in pots or in the 
garden in the south. No bad odor. Best in half shade. Sizes 50c, 75c and $1.00. 
A. italicum. Has attractive green leaves. The flower spathe is long, inflated, 
ivory white. No “perfume.” 50c each. |

GESNERIA FAMILY—Gesneriaceae 
This family includes Gloxinias, Achimines, Saintpaulias and others. Those 
mentioned are very popular as house plants and are really priceless possessions 
when once one has grown them. 
Saintpaulias or African Violets. There has been a great increase recently 
in their popularity. Now everyone must have a few plants in their window gar- 
den. They bloom profusely and continuously when well established, if happy. Ap- 
parently many amateur gardners could make them grow but could not make 
them happy enough to flower. 
Our Saintpaulia price list explains the culture so fully that any one will be 
able both to grow them and to keep them flowering nearly the entire year thru. 
They will actually flower continuously for years if you meet their culture re- 
quirements. 
Send us a post card request if you want the price list. 
Special Saintpaulia offer. On any order from this price list, for 2 or more 
plants you may deduct 10% from the price. On orders for the value of $5.00 to 
$10.00 you may deduct 15%. On orders for $10.00 or more, deduct 25%. As Saint- 
paulias cannot be shipped in winter, (they are killed by a temperature a little 
under 40 degrees) we make this offer only for early fall orders. The offer will 
be cancelled with the beginning of cold weather except to local customers or 
those to whom we can ship safely in cold weather, as in the deep south or on the 
west coast. In the spring a new price list will be issued. 
This offer is made because we have a large stock at present. They grow 
rapidly and we will not have bench room in our greenhouse for the natural in- 
crease thru the winter. At present our plants are all in flower and I am con- 
fident we can send blooming or budded plants on nearly all varieties. This is an 
opportunity to add to your collection or to start growing this most lovely house 
plant. If you wish to give a friend a nice present, what could be more appro- 
priate? 
Incidentally if you want the price list by air mail send 6c Air Mail stamp. 
In order to help you beat the frost dead line for safe shipping we are 
mentioning 14 of our most popular and desirable Saintpaulias. If you order from 
this list and tell us you want the price list it will be packed with order. This 
price list tells you how to keep them flowering all winter, as well as all summer. 
The prices attached are list prices. The above discounts apply. The names 
usually indicate the color hence few descriptions are needed.
