Fancy Leaf Caladiums. These are the most gorgeous of all foliage plants, 
even more richly colored than Coleus. Some leaves are like the delicate tints 
of a lily or an orchid, others rich and luscious like a rose. Easy to grow if you 
follow our culture method described on a preceding page. But in buying Cala¬ 
diums one must be sure to obtain the best sorts as (most unfortunately) there 
are a few growers who have sold muddy colored, rejected seedlings at a very 
low price to unsuspecting dealers. You can see our plants here at our ranch and 
at the Los Angeles County Fair. They are positively the very best sorts. Named 
varieties, no seedlings or rejects. Price 30c ea. 4 for $1.00. Per doz. $2.75. Per 
100, $22.00. If you want these labelled with name of variety send 5c per bulb 
extra.

Rich garden effects. Easy to grow with right culture. Culture. Do not soak

must be started very early in spring. Ten degrees below freezing does little 
damage but best to cover bed when that cold. Ours have survived, undamaged,
