CALADIUM ESCULENTUM. 
(Elephant’s Ear.) 
One of the most effective plants in cultivation for beds, borders 
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 159 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 23 feet wide.
