Caladiums -(Fancy Leaved) 
A rich and ornamental foliage plant that is rapidly coming into in¬ 
creased favor owing to the many uses that can be made of it. In 
addition to being sold to the public for use in the house, it will do 
well in a window box, where it has the benefit of shade from an 
awning or porch and protected from drafts. An ideal window display 
plant in summer when store decoration is expensive. 
Easily started in flats if bulbs are covered about Vi inch with soil 
in which some charcoal or other coarse neutral material has been 
mixed. Place flats under the bench in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees 
won't hurt) water sparingly and pot up when leaves begin to show 
color, using good rich soil. Our collecton consists of 15 of what we 
consider the best and most highly colored varieties including Candi- 
dum, the favorite white.
