Fancy-Leaved Caladiums 
Few, if any, of the summer foliage plants equal the Fancy¬ 
leaved Caladiums in their rich and gorgeous, yet soft, coloring. 
All the varieties are of marvelous beauty for the furnishing of 
the conservatory during the summer months, or even for 
outdoor bedding in shady or semi-shady positions. Bulbs do 
best if started in pots, planting one bulb to a 6-inch pot. 
Use a well-drained sandy loam, water sparingly, and keep at 
60° until well started. Then water quite freely. Extra-Choice 
Mixture, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25 per 100. 
Canna Roots 
Cannas are the most economical and effective plants 
employed in our gardens. They bloom from early 
summer until frost in all sections of the country, suc¬ 
ceeding in any sunny position in any kind of soil, but 
responding quickly to liberal treatment. For best 
results the beds should be spaded deeply, and a gen¬ 
erous amount of well-decayed manure of any kind 
thoroughly incorporated, and at all times freely 
watered. Plant the dormant roots after May 15 , 
spacing them 2 feet apart. Set them with the “eye” 
just above the ground. They are most effective when 
planted in masses of one variety in mixed borders.

Callas . Richardia

through the winter as you would potatoes.
