NeW DWarf Galla, Little Gen*. AH that need be said about this sterling novelty is that It is a perfect miniature Calla, growing 8 or 12 inches high, and producing perpetually very large snow-white blossoms. It begins to bloom when only a few inches high in a three or four inch pot and a well-established plant in a large pot is never withouc flowers, summer or winter, and sometimes shows a dozen at once. The greatest plant novelty of late years and yet the sensation of the day. Our stock is TRUE and the laegest in the world. Cut shows the comparison of the common Calla and Little Gem growing side by side. The plant for everybody. 15c. each; 3 for 30c. Extralarge plants, by express, 30c. each; 3 for 60c. Spotted Galla. A SPLENDID VARIEGATED FOLIAGE CALLA FOR GARDEN OR POTS. The leaves of this beautiful Calla are deep green, with numerous white spots, which give the plant a megnificent appearance. The flowers are pure white, with a black center, and very beautiful. They grow freely in any soil, either indoors or out. They flower splendidly in the garden, treat- ed like Gladiolus; that is, planted in spring and dug in antumn. The bulbs we send out are large and solid, and will all flower freely soon after planted. 15c. each; 3 for 30c. A few bulbs of enormous size at 25c. each.
