Caladium 



Esculentum. Known also as Elephant's Ear. This is one of the finest tropical plants which 

 can be grown in the open air in the north. It can be made to produce three to ten leaves three 

 to four feet long and nearly as wide, on stalks four to six feet high. 

 The soil best suited to Caladiums is a mixture of fibrous loam, leaf mold, peat and well rotted 

 cow or sheep manure in equal parts, with a sprinlcling of sand adiled. Btilbs may be planted outdoors as soon as danger of 

 frost is over, covering about three inches deep; or for largest grouth start early indoors in pots and set out when the 

 weather is warm and settled. But little water must be given to tlie roots till active growth commences when, as the 

 plants develop, they require an abundance. Humidity and warmth are necessary for their best development. 

 First Size Bulbs. Nine inches and over in circumference. 25c each; $2.00 per 10. 

 Second Size Bulbs. Seven to nine inches in circumference. 20c each; $1.50 per 10.

 not endure frost, 10c each; 80c. per 10, postpaid.

 •1 * IIWIIK* sometimes called Red Hot Poker. The hand- 

 some flowers are produced in large spikes of rich orange-red 

 tinted flower tubes. Plant two feet apart. Tritomas are 

 hardy south of Cincinnati when well covered in winter. In 

 the north, dig up the plants in November, place in boxes 

 with dry earth and store in a cellar. In spring place in a 

 warm, sheltered, well drained spot, preferably with a back- 

 ground of shrubbery. 25c each; $2.00 per 10, postpaid.

The flowers of this well-known 

 tuberous rooted plant are waxy- 

 white, double and exceedingly 

 fragrant. They are very useful 

 in bouquets and house decoration. 



If early flowers are wanted fill five-inch pots half full of 

 well-rotted cow manure and the remainder \Wth good, rich, 

 sandy soil. Plant the bulbs in this in March or April, water 

 moderately and hasten growth by putting in a warm, light 

 place. When weather has become warm, plunge the pots in
