BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



CALADIUMS. 



Fancy-Leaved 

 rieties. 



Va- 



For many years the Fancy- 

 Leaved Caladiums have been a 

 special feature of our establish- 

 ment. We grow several large 

 houses of these beautiful plants 

 alone. Our collection has been 

 carefully revised and contains only 

 first-class, distinct and well-marked 

 varieties, and is acknowledged to 

 be the finest in the country. Their 

 greatest value is for the decoration 

 of conservatories, greenhouses and 

 window bo.xes, while nothing can 

 surpass them as exhibition plants 

 for fairs during the summer and 

 fall. Most of tlie varieties, if 

 planted about the tirst of June in 

 partly shaded warm borders, in well- 

 enriched light suil, succeed admira- 

 bly as bedding plants, the various 

 colorings and markings of which 

 cannot be obtained in any other 

 class of plants. We list 40 fine 

 sorts, but from our collection of 

 over 75 sorts we are able to supply 

 other varieties equally distinct and 

 fine. Many of the fine varieties do 

 not show their variegation when ^

 the same as older sorts.
