Elephant’s Ear—Caladium 
A very effective plant for setting out on the 
lawn either singly or in beds, and massed in com¬ 
bination with Cannas it is superb. Caladiums will

ture and rich soil they will grow to an enormous 
size.

Giant Black Lily of India 
The Sacred Lily of India produces 
a very attractive palm-like appearing 
plant. During the summer the stem 
is straight and slender, green in color 
mottled with white spots; the leaves 
are green, small in size with a lace 
edging. The plant makes a beautiful 
and rare addition %o any home or gar¬ 
den; they grow any place in the sun 
or shade. A four-year-old bulb grows 
a plant about 3 to 4 feet tall. It 
makes this growth in about 45 days 
after coming out of ground; a great 
novelty.
