THE CALLA LILY FAMILY — Araceae 
This family contains the so-called Calla Lilies or Zantedeschia, Fancy Leaf Caladium, 
Sauromatum, Amorphophallus, Arum, Drunculus, Anthurium, Spathiphyllum, etc. All 
are shade plants and need acid soils. 
Zantedeschias are not true Callas, tho this is their common name. Culture. At this 
time and up to Apr. 1, you may plant or pot the pink and yellow callas. They need a 
mildly acid soil of sandy loam and peat. In pots, cover only 2” but in the ground in 
Calif. or the deep south, they may be planted about 3” deep. They need about half shade. 
Keep barely moist until growth is well started, then water freely. Cool temperatures suit 
them best. 
Zantedeschia rehmanni elegans. Improved light pink form. These are a large size, 
not small unimproved type that is offered at low prices. 40c ea. 3 for $1.15. We can 
supply small sizes that may or may not flower for 25c ea. 5 for $1.00. 
Z. elliotiana. Deep golden yellow. If not given enough sun they become tall and 
spindling and fail to flower. 30c ea. 4 for $1.00. 
Z. aethiopica. White Calla, may be planted as late as early Feb. We have a few 
left at 50c ea. 
Anthuriums and Spathiphyllums are closely related and were formerly both classed 
as Anthuriums. They are shipped in clay pots by express, f.o.b., any time of year, except 
as noted in the listing. The flowers slightly resemble Calla Lilies but have a waxed or 
lacquered appearance and are much used by florists. 
Anthurium andraeanum. Shaffer Hybrids. These are considered to be the best 
Anthuriums. Fls. up to 6” long, orange-red, varying to rose or white. 6” to 8” plants that

A. scherzerianum, This is a very small but very pretty species and they are more 
rare than those above. They are very free bloomers and a little less exacting in all 
requirements, therefore easier for amateurs. Some are red (var. atrorubrum), others 
variously spotted red on a white ground (var. rothschildianum). We can only offer 
assorted colors, blooming sizes, for $3.75, potted. By express, f.o.b.
