"To Our (Customers 
We hereby present a descriptive list of the 
Named Fancy Leaved Caladiums we grow and dis¬ 
tribute direct to the trade. 
In making up our descriptions, we have used 
P. M. Roster's Color Chart as cur guide in our 
basic colors. Although Roster does not give all 
the shades and hues in the various colors we have 
tried to describe them as nearly as possible. In 
seme instances it may appear as if several vari¬ 
eties have the same description due to the fact 
that it was not possible to give the many graduat¬ 
ions and shadings of pink and red. However, each 
variety listed is distinctly different. 
We have grown Caladiums since 1914. Twenty 
years of hybridizing has rewarded us with the col¬ 
lection of choice varieties which we now offer. 
Chosen from thousands of seedlings, for Color, 
Vigor, and propagating ability. 
We are geographically situated so that we can 
grow and mature bulbs early, and cure them with 
ample time to rest the bulbs, for forcing in winter. 
After some years of experimenting we have 
this year been rewarded with a method of grow¬ 
ing Caladiums which produces a maximum amount 
of side Eyes. These side eyes we do net 
remove from the bulbs we sell. These side eyes 
each produce leaves at same time that main eye 
develops and will quickly fill a pot with leaves 
making a saleable plant in the least possible time. 
We grade our bulbs in three sizes. 1 x k inches 
Diameter, 1 V 2 inches Diameter, 2 inches to 3 in¬ 
ches Diameter which is our jumbo size and require 
large pots 8 inches or larger. We do not grow 
other varieties not listed in our folder. When 
filling orders for mixed bulbs we send only named 
varieties giving a good assortment in all colors.
