CALADIUMS 



Fancy-Leaved Varieties 



This plant in the past few years has become very much in demand. 

 There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and have such 

 a variety of color in their foliage, making them very interesting as well as 

 beautiful. 



Among ornamental foliage plants there are none more beautiful in design 

 or gorgeous in coloring than the Fancy-leaved Caladiums. Well-grown 

 plants are simply wonderful in the colorings and markings of the leaves, 

 embracing every degree and shade that can be formed of pure white, deep 

 green and intense crimson. As pot-plants they form specmiens of great 

 beauty and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decora- 

 tive plants, lending striking effect to any collection of foliage plants. They 

 are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially 

 shaded locations.
