BEST PLANTS FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE. 



CALADIUMS. 



Fancy-Leaved 

 rieties. 



\a- 



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 

 lirst-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 boxes, while nothing can 

 surpass them as exhibition plants 

 for fairs during the summer and 

 fall. Most of the varieties, if 

 planted about the first of June in 

 partly shaded warm borders, in well- 

 enriched light soil, succeed admira- 

 bly as bedding plants, the various 

 colorings and markings of which 



cannot be obtained in any other ' r iS?!gW-^^3: i -~
