Black Calla, Arum Sanctum. Solomon's Lily, or the Black Calla of Palestine. This magnificent flower often measures one foot in lengtti and five to eight inches in width. Beautifully- shaped and turned, sweet scented. The color is of the richest velvety purple black, while the outside is of pleasing green. Sure to bloom if planted in rich soil two inches below the surface. Price, 25 cents each. New Golden Yellow Calla — Richardia Elliottiana. This grand new variety was brought to England bv Captain Elliott from Africa, in 1892, and sold at auction in London at fabulous prices, single bulbs bringing $2.5.00. Since then the stock has been increased so slowly that during 1898 the prices in England have been from $4.00 to $5.00 each. Has the same habit of growth as the ordinary- White Calla. with flowers of the same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lustiious golden-yellow color; the foliage is dark green, with a number of translucent creamy- white spots, which adds to its beauty. Price, $1.00 each. Calla, Spotted—Richardia Alba Maculata. This plant is always ornamental, even when not in flower, the dark-green leaves beautifully spotted with white. In other respects the plant is the same as the old favorite, White Calla, excepting being of smaller habit. Price, 15 cents each. Calla, White or Lily of the Nile. This old favorite is too well known to require any de- scription. We offer dry roots, as they are superior for forcing and Winter-flowering purposes; they come into bloom quickly and require less room—making less foliage. Price, extra large, dormant roots, 25 cents each; first size, 15 cents each; one year old plants. 8 cents each. New Calla, Little Gem. This little pigmy rarely exceeds twelve inches in height and blooms most abundantly. The flowers are not more than half the size of the common varietv. and therefore can be used with telling effect in bouq.uets. It is in every wav superior as a house plant to the larger growing va- riety. Price. 15 cents each; extra large bulbs, 35 cts. each.
