Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, 1878, Vol. 20: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs
Perhaps some of the many lady readers of your monthly would like to know how to get two ?owers instead of one from every ?owering sheath of their Calla lillies. As soon as the joint ?ower is cut, or begins to wither, pull the stalk down through the open sheath clear to the bottom. At the bottom will be found standing close to the stalk another bud, enclosed in a delicate covering. Cut the old stalk away as close as possible without injuring the bud, and if it has not been kept back too long it will grow up very quick. I have never failed to get both buds to ?ower. I never tie up the leaves close, but leave them free.
