 Calla. Each 15 ets., doz. $1.50. 



CALADIUMS, Elephant's Ear 



The Caladium escutentum is one of the handsomest of the ornamental-leaved 

 plants. It will grow in any good garden soil, and is of the easiest culture. To 

 gain the best results it should be planted where it will obtain plenty of water and 

 an abundance of rich compost. Eoots 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 

 10 ets. ; by mail, each 15 ets., doz. $1.00. Extra-large bulbs, each 15 ets. ; by mail,

 ground has become warm, in partly shaded, sheltered borders, in well-enriched 

 light soil ; while for exliibition plants during the summer and fall months nothing 

 equals it in beauty. Each 20 ets., doz. $2.00.
