POT PLANT OF FANCY LEAVED CALADIUM grown in 
peat moss, above, and below, field of Caladiums at Lakemont 
Gardens, with hired hand weeding. 
cluding E. O. Orpet, the showiest red of the older lance-leaved group, sometimes 
known in the trade as ‘‘strap-leaved.”’ 
These older kinds include Sea Shell, Horatio Syd, Elsie Nehrling, Cunningham, 
Paula Leitz, etc. The new varieties, principally the productions of two Tampa, Fla., 
women hybridizers, Mrs. A. J. Weir and Mrs. T. S. Freeman, are available only under 
number at this time for fanciers, at $3.00 each, and include new colors never before 
seen in the dwarf arrow-and-lance-leaved types, flaming reds, rich ruby shades, even 
an ivory white with pinkish spots and green border, which is absolutely outstanding 
in the field. We are unable to supply these except in collections of five or more 
numbered types. The plants are smaller than ordinary caladiums, with narrow pointed 
or wedge-shaped leaves and utterly intriguing colors and shades. The bulbs are 
smaller than those of ordinary fancy !eaved caladiums, and should have more care 
until larger stocks have been worked up.
