The principal colours are white, maroon, deep blue, violet, beautifully veined, etc. We grow these in our rice-field and when the plant is at rest we manure it with dung once a month from November to March, but never give manure after the foliage appears. Fish-manure will answer all purposes. The plant grow successfully on all soils but if the soil is light better have it planted where it can often be watered by means of irrigation or a little depressed ground to hold water and get the full benefit of rains. If the soil and climate be too dry it should be planted in pot provided with water in a basin and keep it under subirrigation in a manner as calla lily is grown in the greenhouse. It flowers early summer. NEW AND RARE VARIETIES. A set of the following 18 new varieties for $ ; per 100 clumps $ 1.
