CALADIUMS 



FANCY-LEAVED 

 VARIETIES 



This plant in the past fow venrs has been very much in denianci. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and 

 have such a vaVietv of color in their foliaije. Well-grown plants are simply wonderful in the colorings and markings of the leaves, embra- 

 cing every degree "and shade that can be found of pure white, deep green and intense crimson As pot-plants they form specimens of 

 great beauty and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decorative plants, lending striking effect to any collection of 

 foliage plants Thev are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially shaded locations. 



Fancy leaved C'aladiums are easily cultivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees, 

 and a'moist atnu>sphere The bulbs should be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty of 

 sharp sand Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass, and 

 sha<le(i onlv during very bright siinsiiine. During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not sink 



below ^10 degrees. , .r-i . j . ' j. r > . > 



We offer an English and Brazilian collection of new and very rare Fancy-leaved Oaladiums of the handsomest, transpa- 

 rent-leaved kinds, consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country, and 

 were .selected from over 100 varieties. 



Dry Caladium tubers or bulbs should be kept in dry sand in a temperature 60 to 65 degrees— a too high or too low temperature causes 

 dry-rot— and should never be allowed to fall below 50 degrees.
