Several new hybrid yellow towering
rIchardias. popularity known as callas,
have recently been put In commerce.
They have all been produced by inter-
crossing species native to South Africa
and are handsome decorative plants,
especially suitable for subtropical gar
den effects. While some Of the species
are not overylgorous and generally
need glass protection. the hybrids are
OF the easiest culture in the open. The
large tubers winter perfectly IL kept
warm and dry. and may be planted out
any time after the ground warns up In
spring. They grow well In any sunny
situation, but are most effective In beds
or borders Of deeply dug. well enriched
and IL possible moist soil, such as the
elephants ear. colocasia. delights In,
and make a particularly satisfactory
appearance in groups Of i've to seven
plants spaced about ten inches apart.
Blooms are produced from July to
August When the foliage begins to
yellow In September the tubers should
carefully be lifted, cured In shade and
stored like potatoes In a dry, frost free
cellar or other suitable place. Rural
