Hyacinthus candicans, 
FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 
Wherever high-class decorations are required during Summer, these plants are 
indispensable. When grown in pots they may be used in the conservatory or the 
house with equal satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for en- 
livening groups of palms or ferns, they are most serviceable. They are quite as 
desirable for bedding purposes, and may be planted out after the middle of June 
in the sunniest situations if well watered, or in partial shade, but they should be 
sheltered from strong winds. The tubers should be started in the greenhouse in 
February or March, and if intended for out-door beds gradually hardened off 
before being transferred to the open ground.
