FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 



Fur many years the Fancy Leaved Caladiums have been a special feature of our establishment. We grow several 

 Liree houses of these beautiful plants alone. Our collection has been carefully revised and contains only first-class, 

 "listinct 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 admirably 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 

 young, and often appear exactly the same as older sorts.
