FANCY LEAVED CALADIUHS. 



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.
