Elephant’s Ear, Caladium 
5085 Elephant’s Ear, Caladium 
Escultentum. One of the most effective 
tropical-like plants. Beautiful for lawn decor¬ 
ation, whether planted singly, in clumps, or 
for borders of subtropical groups. Especially 
nice when planted with Cannas. They like 
a rich deep soil and plenty of water. A single 
plant will often grow six feet tall with leaves 
four feet long and three feet wide. Each plant 
should have at least a pail of water every day 
that it does not rain. Plant Caladiuins as a 
background for shorter growing annual flowers 
in your garden and you will like the effect.

What could be more charming than a nice bed of Cannas against a green 
lawn? These stately, dazzling colored, giant flowers, are so inexpensive that you 
can afford all you have room for. The luxuriant foliage would be worth the effort 
even if they bore no flowers. But they do bear flowers in profusion from July
