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 ‘‘tope’’ 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. Large, peppy bulbs. 
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.

ent cherry-red, light green margin.
