Giant Flowering Caladiuni 



The Moat Magnificent Foliage Plant 0/ Recent Introduction 

 This new introduction somewhat resemb'es the 

 Caladiiim Ei^calentinn or Elephant Ear, but is eu'iiely 

 distiuct, being much larger and vastly superior in 

 every way. Both the ])lant and leaves* are tiigantic, 

 attaining a large size in a very short time. Conditiors 

 being equal it will grow three to four times as fast as 

 the common variety. Plants from 8 to 10 feer his^h, 

 with leaves 4 to 5 feet long and 2 to ;3 feet wide, are not 

 unusual. The leaves are of somewhat ditt'erent shape 

 than those of Caladium Esculentum, and are of brighter 

 glossy green. Another distinct feature of this 

 Variety is that the mid ribs and veins ate sunken, 

 giving* the surface of the leaf a rich quilted appear- 

 ance. Each leaf has a border extending around the 

 leaf one-half inch from the edge. The leaves are borne 

 erect, and do not droop under the hot sun like com- 

 mon Caladium. It is also mucli hardier and endures 

 dr*)ught better. The most remarkable, and novel 

 feature connected wiih this plant, in addition to being 

 a mai;niticent foliage plant, is that it produces in 

 abundance immense Snow-wliite, frayraui flowers. 

 The plant commences to bloom when four or five 

 months old, and blooms in con.'-tant succession. The 

 flower buds appear at the base of leaf stalks, each 

 stalk producing 6 to 12 buds, which open in succession. 

 The flowers resemble (jiant Callas, remaining open 

 for three days and nights. The color at first is pwre 

 snow-'vvliite, changing later to pale yellow. The 

 flowers are remarkably Iragrant— spicy and aromatic. 

 This fragrance is exh'aled only at night. The plants 

 require rich soil, the richer the better, and plenty of 

 water. The plants can be taken up in the Fall and 

 wintered in the house or cellar. 



Strong, well-rooted plants, postpaid, 20 cts. each ;
