Keep barely moist until growth is well started, then water freely. Cool temperatures suit 
them best. Hardy outdoors in S$. Calif.

diam. or over, 75c. 14%” diam., 45c ea. Blooming size, 40c. Use larger sizes for pots.

spindling and fail to flower. 35c ea. 3 for $1.00. 
Z. aethiopica. White Calla, may be planted as late as March 1. 50c ea. 
Amorphophallus revieri. Sacred Lily of India. Culture like Zantedeschia. The tubers 
may be stored dry and allowed to flower before potting or planting. We have only 
4 or 5 huge, blooming size tubers for $5.00 and $6.00 ea. Smaller tubers for $2.50 
and $3.50, 
Sauromatum venosum. Lizard Lily. The long, serpent like spathe wriggles along 
on soil surface. I've seen persons jump, at their first look. Soil and culture similar to 
Zantedeschia. Large tubers, $1.50 and $2.00. Medium, $1.00. 
S. nubicum. Rare, collectors species. $3.50. 
Anthurium andraeanum. The cordate leaves make them useful as foliage plants 
alone but a mature plant will flower six times a year. Flowers are calla-like, but rather 
flat, in glossy red, pink, orange, coral, rose and rarely white. They are much used for 
cut flowers in arrangements and corsages. They are ever-blooming if given correct 
conditions at all times, but sometimes take a vacation when very hot, very cold or dry. 
Culture. Anthuriums and Spathiphyllums are tender tropical plants, suitable only 
for pot culture. Soil formula. They will grow in most any organic compost. We use 
and advise one part old osmundine, (discarded from orchid pots, new will do); one 
part peat. Add enough Sponge Rok or coarse sand to make compost very gritty and 
to hasten quick drainage. See Potting Directions under General Culture. Add a thin 
layer of sphagnum on surface to prevent eroding the surface when watering. Set plant 
low in an oversized pot and as it grows, new roots are formed on compost surface 
which should be covered with more sphagnum. When compost surface reaches rim 
of pot, shift to larger pot, or build up with sphagnum. New roots must be kept covered. 
Use Spoonit or liquid manure once a month, after plants are well established. The 
preferred minimum night temp. is 60° or over. 45° does little harm other than to stop 
growth and flowering. 70° to 80° is a good daytime temp. Air should be very humid. 
Spraying foliage daily increases air humidity. They should never become completely 
dry, thruout. Water about every two days. 
Shipping. They can only be shipped by express in cold weather. We ship out of pot 
by mail or in pot by express, f.o.b. at the same price. If shipped by express you have the 
advantage of having the plant correctly established in a pot. If by mail, you must supply 
the pot and compost and the plant is set back a little. Instruct us as to your choice about 
shipping. Prices are again reduced.
