Faucey-Leaued 
CALADIUMS 
SOIL should be slightly acid, ph 6.2 to 6.5. It should” 
be composed of one-part each of leaf-mould, rotted ma- 
nure and loam. Good drainage is necessary. Add 4-inch 
potful of Vigoro to each bushel of soil. 




LIGHT is important. Give as much strong light as 
possible without burning leaves. The colors will not be 
bright unless plants have good strong light.

TEMPERATURE should be 80 to 85 degrees, the higher the 
better. Reduce heat epee» to harden off the plants. Start the 
bulbs in flats and place on steam flows if possible. 
WATER sparingly until sprouts and roots are 4 to 6 inches long; 
then shift to 5 or 6-inch pots. Never allow the pots to dry out when 
in full growth.

Have Caladiums All Summer 
When blooming plants are scarce, plant Caladiums in May, June 
and July for late summer sales. They are more easily grown at this 
time of year than during the cold months. They require less atten- 
tion and no heat, but copious watering. You can have Caladiums 
twelve months in the year through our regular monthly shipping 
plan. Orders must be placed in advance so that the bulbs may be 
reserved for later shipment. 
NEVER PLACE CALADIUMS IN COLD STORAGE; THEY 
WERE NOT MADE FOR IT. If not ready to plant the bulbs when 
they are received, place them in shallow trays in a temperature of not 
less than 70 degrees and with relative humidity of at least 70% until 
ready to plant.
