The Most Magnificent Foliage Plant 
Fancy-Leaf Caladium 
My Peonies are all of the 
giant-flowering type, dou¬ 
ble to the center, highly 
fragrant; all roots three to five 
eyes each, best size for plant¬ 
ing for early results. 
Grows from a bulb in one season to full size, the leaves coming on stiff 
stems from the ground, and being about 1 foot long by 8 inches wide, of 
the fine Caladium shape. Never before have such gorgeous colors been 
found in plant foliage, nothing else can begin to rival the wonderful color 
effect of the Fancy-leaf Caladium. You can plant them most anywhere. 
Along the edge of a pool; no greater beauty 
_in plant life can be produced than with 
these truly “fancy-leaf” plants. In the 
growing fields six varieties, the finest 
colors of all have been picked out; 1 bulb 
of each has been put in this collection of 
six. And I sell them only in the full collec¬ 
tion, the 6 bulbs for only $2.90, postpaid. 
The number of these collections is limited, 
order early. 
Mixed colors. Fancy-leaf Caladiums, 38c 
each; 3 for 90c.
