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 sprinkling of 

 sand added. Bulbs may be planted outdoors as soon as danger of frost is over, 

 covering about three inches deep; or for largest growth start early indoors in 

 pots and set out when the weather is warm and settled. But little water must 

 be given to the 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. 

 Third Size Bulbs. Under seven inches in circumference. 15c each; $1.00 per 10.

 1»A»UCII ** » 111C rooted climber of dense, branching growth has 

 thick, heart-shaped, glossy green leaves and delightfully fragrant, small 

 feathery, white blossoms produced in long hanging racemes. It is of rapid 

 growth, and is fine for porches and covering arbors in a single season. 

 Perennial, but take up roots in fall as the plant will not endure frost. 10c 

 each; 80c. per 10, postpaid. 



TflfrHTIJI Pfi' ze "-An improved variety of the plant sometimes called 

 * * llwlliaRed jjot Poker. The handsome 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 

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



Tuberose 



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 with 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 the earth 

 out of doors. They will usually flower before cold weather; if they do not, 

 the pots can be brought in and bulbs will bloom in the house.
