CALADIUMS Fancy-Leaved Varieties 
Per Doz. Per 100 Per 1000 
This plant in the past few years has become very much in demand by florists and the 
trade generally. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and have 
such a variety of color in their foliage, making them very interesting as well as beautiful. 
A collection of the best kinds will always sell readily at fancy prices when grown carefully. 
Among ornamental foliage plants there are none more beautiful in design or gorgeous 
in coloring than the Pancy-Leaved Caladiums. Well-grown plants are simply wonderful in 
the colorings and markings of the leaves, embracing every degree and shade that can be 
formed 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. They are also of great 
value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially shaded locations.
