planting the Dasheen, which is an edible-tubered 
variety of Caladium and has very much the 
same appearance as the common Elephant Ear.

Chinese Cinnamon Vine 
The Cinnamon Vine is one of the most satisfactory climbers. Its handsome 
foliage and fragrant, cinnamon-scented blossoms commend it to every lover of 
flowers. It is tuberous-rooted and, once planted, will grow a lifetime. It is 
perfectly hardy, thrives on all soils, in sun or shade, wet or dry. No insects 
or blight ever trouble. Will quickly surround your windows, arbors and 
porches with a mass of vines, and profusion o'f small white flowers. 
While the Cinnamon Vine is grown mainly for its beauty and fragrant blos¬ 
soms, the tubers are edible, being most delicious when baked like Sweet 
Potatoes. 
For windows, plant two on each side. For porches, walks, etc., plant 8 
inches or a foot apart, covering 2 inches. Furnish twine support for the vines. 
Choice tubers, 15c each; 2 for 25c; 6 for 60c; 12 for $1.00; 30 for $2.00, 
postpaid. 
Fancy Leaved Caladiums 
No other foliage plant equals the Fancy Leaved Caladium in rich and gor¬ 
geous, yet soft coloring. Wherever high-class decorations are required, these 
plants are indispensable. When grown in pots, they may be used in the con¬ 
servatory or the house with equal satisfaction. For table decorations, for 
window boxes, for jardinieres, and for enlivening groups of palms or ferns, they 
are most serviceable. They are quite as desirable for bedding purposes, and 
do j their best in a shady or semi-sliady position. Their beautifully shaped 
foliage is elegantly variegated in the most telling manner with delicate but 
vivid colors. Some are ivory white, light green, crimson and pink stripes, dark 
olive green, pink centers, silver spots, some veined with deep crimson. Un¬ 
like most varieties of plants, which are at their best only when in bloom, the 
f ancy Leaved Caladiums are always beautiful. No plant in bloom could 
attract more attention than the foliage of our Caladiums. Our collection is 
made up of many different varieties, all choice kinds and extra select bulbs. 
Full cultural directions with every order. 35c each; 3 for 90c; 12 for $2.90, 
postpaid. 
Colchicum 
The Wonder of the Floral Kingdom. 
Requires No Soil, No Water, No Care. 
Beautiful rosy tinted blossoms, 2 to 
3 inches in diameter. Through Nature's 
own process, Colchicum bulbs store 
within themselves all the fertility, 
water, etc., they require to bloom. 
Simply place the bulb in a dish or on 
the table or window sill and watch its 
beauty unfold. The blooms keep in 
good condition about two weeks, and 
when they wilt, cut them off and others 
will foilow, each bulb producing from 
6 to 15 flowers. When the blooming 
has ceased in the early fall, the bulbs 
may be planted in the open garden or 
lawn, where, each fall they will bloom 
in great profusion, or if you prefer 
you can remove the bulbs from the 
ground about July first, dry them in 
darkness for a few weeks, and use for 
indoor decoration as at first. Orders 
for Colchicum bulbs cannot be filled 
before August, but you should place
