CALADIUMS.

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. Then 

 greatest value is for the decoration 

 of conservatories, greenhouses and 

 window boxes, while nothing cin 

 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 admiia- 

 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 

 young, and often appear exactly 

 the same as older sorts.
