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 decoration, for jardinieres, and 
for enlivening groups of palms or ferns, they are most ser- 
viceable, 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 wind. 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.
