VARIETIES. If you leave the selection of varieties to us, 
you will be sure of getting the best colors and types. We 
will substitute an equally good or better variety when 
you order one that is sold out. In some crop years the 
bulbs marked Jumbo and Mammoth may not be avail- 
able due to growing conditions, but the varieties marked 
with asterisks are usually available as shown, in ordinary 
growing seasons. The supplying of Caladium bulbs has 
to be done on a very flexible basis. No bulbs grow to order 
in any season, the supply of different sizes being entirely 
dependent upon a great many things, including weather. 
SIZES. Caladiums are graded in three standard sizes: 
No. 1 size (114 to 214-in. diameter) 
Jumbo size (214 to 314-in. diameter) 
Mammoth size (314 in. up) 
Varieties marked with one asterisk (*) usually make No. 
1 size and no larger. Varieties marked with two asterisks 
(**) usually make Jumbo-size bulbs in addition to No. 1 
size. Varieties marked with three asterisks (***) generally 
are available in Mammoth size in addition to Jumbo and 
No. 1 size. We consider it best to substitute size rather than 
variety, and usually do so, giving the next smaller size 
where the one ordered is sold out. 
There is no use ordering Mammoth bulbs of varieties 
which do not make bulbs larger than No. 1 or Jumbo. 
NEVER PLACE CALADIUM BULBS IN COLD STOR- 
AGE; 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.
