wn all,but the difference is very slight. CALLA. This is the well-known Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile. Its large white flowers are indis-pensable in the winter-, its foliage is broad and good, and it will pros-per under very adverse circumstances, if water is provided in abun-dance. . It is also an excellent plant for aquariums — none better,either placed in the center bedded in a little earth and sand, which maybe covered with stones, or planted in a pot which can be placed in theaquarium, and so covered with pieces of rock as to be entirely con-cealed. In the spring, the plant may be planted in the garden, whereit can remain until autumn, when it should be repotted for winterflowering. It will not appear to advantage in the garden, nor is it de-signed to do so, the object being to place it where it will be no trouble and at the same time gainstrength for winter blooming. In California the Calla makes a wonderful growth, and is perfectlyhardy, as, of course it is in the South.
