FANCY LEAVED CALADIUIS. 
These most beautiful variegated-leaved plants are 
destined to early popularity. It has been generally 
supposed that they would thrive only in a warm, hu. 
mid atmosphere completely shaded from the sun, and 
in consequence they have been grown in shaded green- 
houses. They may be planted out, however, after the 
middle of June in the sunniest situations, if given a 
deep, light loam and plenty of water. We have seen 
magnificent beds of them within the tropics, exposed 
to the full blaze of the sun and growing in ordinary 
garden soil. The tubers should be started in the green- 
house in February or March, and gradually hardened 
off before being transferred to the open ground.

CALLA,  Richardia. 
The temperature for Callas should be rather warm; the soil open and rich, and they should be liberally 
watered. Callas will bloom continually summer and winter if kept in growing condition, or they may be allowed 
to dry off and remain dormant a portion of the year.
