The tubers, maturing the second year, produce flowers like the " Calla Lily;" the outside of a similar color to the leaf stalk, the inside deep blood-red, veined with black. Tubers are planted out in May, and kept over winter like Dahlia roots. Tubers, from 25 to 75 cents 0$1W (Indian Shot Plant).

The roots can easily be wintered in a dry cellar. The following list has been selected as the best from a very large collection of new and old varieties. 25 cents. $ per dozen. Adele Levalots.
