CALADIUM ESCULENTUM 



(Elephant's Ear) 

 One of the most effective plants in cultivation for beds, bord- 

 ers, or for planting out upon the lawn; they are used extensively 

 in many of the public parks, where their decorative value is 

 greatly appreciated; a very fine combination is formed by using 

 the Purple Fountain Grass offered on page 149 as a border. To 

 obtain the best results it should be planted where it will obtain 

 plenty of water and an abundance of rich compost. When full 

 size it stands 6 to 10 feet high, and .bears immense light green 

 leaves, 3 to 4 feet long by 2i feet wide.
