Summer Flowering Bulbs And Roots 
MINIMUM ORDER 100 BULBS OF A VARIETY 
Fancy Leaved Caladiums 
Caladiums are easily grown but should not be put in a Carna- 
tion temperature. Start the bulbs in flats, turning them upside 
down, since this is a crown-rooting bulb and the roots come out 
around the top (center) eye. This direct contact with the growing 
medium produces roots more quickly than the opposite method. 
Use a mixture of one part leaf-mold, one part good garden loam, 
and one part peat moss or other course neutral material, adding 
a small amount of coarse charcoal or other rubble for drainage. 
Press the bulb halfway into the soil and place the flats under a 
bench. The flats can also be placed on top of the flows, but if 
this is done they should be shaded. The temperature should be 
80 to 85 degrees or higher, as the higher the temperature, the 
better starting results you will have. Be careful that the flats do 
not dry out if placed either on the flows or returns. Water spar- 
ingly until the bulbs begin to sprout and have roots 4 to 6 inches 
long. When the sprouts begin to show place the bulbs in 5 or 6 
inch pots using good rich leaf-mold. Water copiously when in 
full growth and use weak liquid manure once weekly if possible.
