FANCY LEAVED CALADIUM 
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 grow- 
ing and many uses than the Fancy-leaved Caladium. For speci- 
men plants or for garden culture it is ‘‘tops’”’ in color. I have 
grown it in sand only with chemical nutrients for food. I have 
grown it from small pips in the garden 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. 
Order early. Crop shortage. 
CANDIDUM. Snow-white with green veins and network. Nar- 
row green border. Fine Easter variety. 
THOS. TOMLINSON. Center of leaf and blotches shining 
crimson. Narrow border. Strong grower. 
ITACAPUS. Entire leaf dark red of a rust shade; narrow bor- 
der with red dottings. One of 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 blothches. Heavy scarlet ribs. 
STOPLIGHT. Crimson. Narrow green border. Strong grower. 
MRS. W. B. HALDEMAN. Glowing-bright pink with narrow 
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 bor- 
dered metallic green. One of the best. 
MRS. SANDER. Roundish, dark green leaf, heavily blotched. 
Transparent deep rose.

DAHLIAS 
Delivery March to June 
We are justly proud of the following fine collection of 
prize winning Dahlias, many of which are from stock im- 
ported and thoroughly tested by one of the West Coast’s most 
particular growers. 
For beauty and length of bloom a well grown Dahlia plant 
is really “‘tops,’’ and one does not have to be an expert to 
have blooms he is proud of. 
We send cultural instructions with each order.
