SOIL should be slightly acid, ph 6.2 to 6.5. It 
should be composed of one-part each of leaf-mould, 
rotted manure and loam. Good drainage is neces- 
sary. 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 gradually to 
harden off the plants. Start the bulbs in flats and 
place on steam flows if possible.

ACE OF HEARTS 
Have Caladiums all Summer 
When blooming plants are scarce, plant Cala- 
diums 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 attention 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.

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. 
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 tem- 
perature of not less than 70 degrees and with 
relative humidity of at least 70% until ready 
to plant.
