Cubrans' List of Caladiums. 
Caladiums. 
Highly ornamental plants, grown for the great beauty of their leaves. They make beautiful 
ornaments for table decoration, and their suitability for Exhibition is well known. A compost of 
turfy loam, leaf mould and peat — in equal parts — with a little manure, and a good sprinkling of 
sharp sand suits them ; shade for a few hours in the middle of the day from the sun’s direct rays 
may be necessary, but the more they are exposed to the light at other times during growth the richer 
and more beautiful will the foliage be.
