SHADE-GROWN AND OPEN-GROWN 
Our Caladiums are grown in the open ground, 
in full sun. He’nce they produce fine large, healthy 
bulbs, sound in every respect. When grown in shade, 
the leaves are very long and spindly and this leaf 
growth is made at the expense of the bulb in every 
case, because the leaf will try to reach the light. 
Florists must not of course try to grow Caladiums 
in full sun, as in northern latitudes the sun’s rays 
are more' direct, and will burn the beautiful leaves. 
Here in the South we can do it without injury to 
the plant or bulb. You will find, however, that 
many varieties will stand more direct light than 
others. Usually the delicate transparent kinds will 
not stand direct sunlight
