CULTURE—Achimenes do best under the same conditions we grow African Violets. 
They desire a very loose mixture—a night temperature of 60 degrees, avoiding strong 
light. Started indoors they may be removed to a lath house or shady spot outdoors when 
they commence to bloom. They do best by planting 6 to 12 tubers in a 6-inch pot, keep- 
ing varieties separate as they multiply terrifically. Beautiful baskets may be obtained 
by planting dozens of the tiny tubers in wire baskets. Achimenes, no doubt, are the easiest 
of all Gesnerias to propagate—any part of a leaf, stem, or tuber may be broken off and 
they will start readily. Tubers resemble tiny miniature pine cones. 
STREPTOCARPUS (Cape Primrose) Sroweil 
Streptocarpus is easy to grow and will do well outdoors in a shady, sheltered i aw ; ithe 
location, in any good loose soil, or as a house plant. 
As a pot plant it is best to use a Gloxinia or Violet mix (two-thirds well- 
decayed leaf mold, one-third sandy loam). Plants bloom in about four 
months and blossom continuously. As plants become larger, it is not un- 
common to have ten or twelve blooming spikes at one time. Like other 
Gesnarias, you may propagate by leaf cuttings or divisions; however, grow- 
ing from seed is the most satisfactory. Colors range from pure white 
through pink, rose, salmon, blue, to a deep violet. Plants are shipped in 
crates of twenty-five — twelve plants may be ordered in conjunction with 
Tuberous Begonias or Gloxinias.

The Calla Lily will grow in all types of soil; however, a well-drained, 
sandy loam is preferred. Heavy soils may be improved by applying 
leaf mold or sandy loam. 
Summer-blooming Calla lilies should be planted as early as one’s 
locality will permit in the spring. Winter-flowering Callas may be 
planted in the fall or early spring in severe climates. 
The bulbs may remain in the ground for three years. They should 
then be. dug and separated. In areas of severe winters, it is well to 
cover the ground thoroughly with a good mulch, or dig them each 
season when the plant has become dormant.
