FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 



NEW AND RARE VARIETIES. 



Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer, these plants are indispen- 

 sable. When grown in pots they may be used in the conser^•ato^y or the house with equal 

 satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for enlivening 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.
