FANCY CALADIUMS AND THEIR 
HYBRIDS. 
The Fancy Caladiums are a superl) race of ornamentals, 
with leaves richly painted in all manner of colors and niark- 
inffs. Many of the varieties have a fine dwarf habit and 
show exquisite leaves, delicately veined, like the one in our 
picture. In recent years these plants have grown very 
rapidly in popular favor, not only for brightening conserva- 
tories, window boxes, etc., but also for bedding out in 
partly shaded, sheltered borders, well enriched with light 
soil after the ground has become warm. For exhibition 
plants at shows and fairs during summer and fall months they 
are also admirable. $4 per doz. ; specimens, $1.50 and up. 
FANCY HYBRIDS. We have imported from Rio Janeiro 
a superb and extensive collection of the choicest Fancy 
Hybrids, including leaf types of rare markings and richest 
colors. $9 per doz. ; specimens, $2.50 and upward. 
CURMERIA WALLISII. 
When better known this plant will doubtless displace 
some coarser, nioi'e common forms now used for the same 
purpose. It is an Aroid, and has long, broad, leathery 
leaves of polished green, bordered with white and blotched 
with golden yellow on the upper surface. The plant is not 
exacting as to culture, and the broad, bright bkitclied leaves 
are both durable and beautiful. We need more plants of 
this kind to give variety and interest to decorations and 
collections. However fine the plants in a collection may 
be, an air of sameness destroys half their interest and beauty.
