FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS. 



Faiicy-leaved Caladiums have, in recent years, grown \ ery raDidlv in DODular 

 favor, not only for the decoration of the conservatory, greenhouse and window- 

 boxes, but nearly all of the varieties succeed admirably if planted out of doors, 

 when the ground has become warm, in partly shaded, sheltered borders, in well- 

 enriched light soil, while for exhibition plants at fairs, etc., during the summer and 

 fall months nothing can equal their beauty.
