STORING CALADITJM TUBERS. 



I should like some information con- 

 cerning the keeping of caladium tubers. 

 I have a fine lot of them. As I have no 

 storage house, I have always kept the 

 tubers under the carnation benches. 

 Some years they liave kept well, while 

 other years they have done poorly. 

 Would it be better to keep the tubers 

 under the rose benches, where there is 

 a higher temperature? F. H. P, — Kan. 



It is presumed that you refer to the 

 rhizomes of Caladium esculcntum, com- 

 monly called "elephant's ears." These 



would certainly keep better under the 

 rose benches than under tlie carnation 

 benches. It is, of course, necessary to 

 protect them from drip. This you can 

 accomplish by fastening roofing paper 

 or some similar material below your 

 bench. Give tlic m.'iterial some slant to 

 shed any drainings from the benches. 

 The tubers keep quite well if packed in 

 perfectly dry sand, and iiny shed with a 

 minimum temperature of 55 degrees will 

 keep them well. Fancy-leaved caladi- 

 ums keep best if packed in sand or dry 

 earth and kept 5 to 10 degrees warmer 

 than C. e.sculenfum. 0. W.
