an abundance of rich compost. Roots planted in the spring will make good growth 
in the summer, and in the fall they should be taken up and stored in a cellar. 
Leaves three feet or more in length and nearly as broad. There is nothing so good 
as this Caladium for a grand bed of foliage in the garden. First size bulbs, each

light soil; while for exhibition plants during the summer and fall months nothing 
equals it in beauty. Each 20 ets., doz. $2.00.
