Making Calla Lilies Bloom.

A busy woman puts her callas out In the border during the summer and treats them as she does her vegetables —keeping the weeds down and hoeing occasionally. In September she pots them in a good-sized pot, allowing ‘an Inch of stones for drainage. She uses good, rich potting soil and when the new growth appears in December she places the pot 8 ' in a crock and four or five times a week pours d quart of almost boiling water In the crock. She reports that often four and five flowers bloom at tbs same time. - •
