FANCY LEAVED CALADIUM 
Delivery January to May 
WHY should we be prejudiced in favor of flowers when 
foliage plants deserve their share of the spotlight, too? 
There is no grander plant either for variety of color, ease 
of growing and many uses than the Fancy-leaved Caladium. 
For specimen plants or for garden culture it is “tops’’ in 
color. I Fave grown it in sand only with chemical nutri- 
ents for food. I kave grown it from small pips in the gar- 
den as a “background” for my Tuberous Begonias. I have 
failed to find an equal for its value when it comes to the 
need of a high-class foliage plant. and I herewith offer 
what I consider ten of the finest varieties. Full cultural 
directions included with each order. 
CANDIDUM—Snow-white with green veins and network. 
Narrow green border. Fine Easter variety. 
HORTILANIA—Center of leaf shining crimson with slight 
bluish tint. Narrow border. Strong grower. 
ITACAPUS—Fntire leaf dark red of a rust shade; narrow 
border with red dottings. One -f the most beautiful 
Caladiums. 
JOHN PEED—Bold plant with many leaves. Center trans- 
parent cherry-red, light green margin. 
LORD DERBY —Delicate transparent rose with dark green 
ribs and narrow green edge. Abundant foliage. Very 
similar to ‘‘Our Red.” 
MACAHYBA—Dark moss green profusely spotted and 
mottled with transparent lilac blotches. Heavy scarlet 
ribs. 
MRS. EDITH E. MEAD—Leaf snow-white (not transparent), 
with red ribs (no veins), and narrow green edge. Very 
showy. 
MRS. H. B. HALDEMAN—Glowing-bright pink with nar- 
row green edge. -Varies to a deep pink according to 
soil used. 
Poecile Anglais—Dwarf, many-leaved type with waxy 
leaves of deep crimson: having a bluish overcast and 
bordered metallic green. One of the best. 
MRS. SANDER—Roundish, dark green leaf, heavily blotch- 
ed. Transparent deep rose.
