VICK'S FL ORA L G C/IDE. 
f, 2 
The Caladium is one of the handsomest of the orna¬ 
mental-leaved plants. Roots obtained in the spring 
will make good plants in the summer, and in the fall the 
roots should be taken up and stored in a cellar. Leaves 
three feet or more in length, nearly as broad. There is 
nothing so good as the Caladium for a grand bed of foli¬ 
age in the garden.

CALADIUM ESCULENTUM. 
CALADIUMS. — (Fancy-foliaged) 
The fancy-foliaged varie¬ 
ties make a most beautiful 
class of pot plants for sum¬ 
mer decoration. They re¬ 
quire a high temperature to 
bring the colors out to per¬ 
fection. Leaves shaped as 
in the engraving, and curi¬ 
ously striped, blotched and 
spotted with white, crimson 
and pink. In the fall they 
die down, and the bulbs 
should be kept in the pots 
in a warm place. Of these 
we have a dozen kinds. The 
bulbs are very small compared with C. esculentum , 
which is such a grand grower for the garden. 50 
cents each ; $5.00 per dozen. 
CAMELLIA. 
Camellia Japonica. An old green-house shrub. 
Should always be grown in pots and in a cool 
place. Heat causes the buds to drop. Although 
many succeed with them in house culture, still we 
do not generally recommend them for the house. 
Summer treatment the same as for Azaleas. 
Small plants, by mail, 75 cents to $1.50; larger, 
by express only, $2.00 to.. 510 
CAMPSIDIUM. 
An elegant climber, of rapid growth ; fine for conserv¬ 
atories ; foliage fern-like. It has no need of flowers, as 
the foliage is an ornament in itself. Do not allow the 
soil to become wet or sodden, as then it is apt to drop 
its leaves. The plant branches freely, and succeeds in 
any ordinary garden soil. It is also very fine for a win¬ 
dow box out of doors in the summer, growing much 
stronger than it docs in the house. A very pretty plant 
that people who cultivate it all like. 
Campsidium filicifolium,. 30 
CANNA. 
The Canna is a fine foliage 
plant, making a good bed alone, 
but particularly desirable as 
the center of a group of foliage 
plants, for which it is one of the 
best. Growing from three 
to six feet. The leaves arc 
sometimes two feet in length, 
of a beautiful green, some vari¬ 
eties tinted with red. The flow¬ 
ers are on spikes, pretty, but 
not conspicuous. Roots can be 
taken up in the autumn and 
placed in the cellar. One of 
the best of the large foliaged 
plants that everybody will be 
pleased with.

CARNATIONS. 
The Carnation is one of the sweetest, prettiest, flow¬ 
ers that grows, the only rival of the Rose. It is beauti-
