Fancy Leaved Caladium 
Tuberous plants with brilliantly colored foliage 
that are very useful for indoor or outdoor cul- 
ture. They should be started in pots indoors and 
planted out after the weather becomes warm, in a 
shady location. They demand liberal moisture 
and appreciate feeding. They may also be grown 
to perfection in pots in a rich compost. After the 
leaves die down they must be dug out of the 
ground and stored in dty sand in a warm place. 
Often it is not possible to supply the varieties 
listed below, so we reserve the right to substitute 
varieties not listed in case of shortage. We 
supply the largest possible tubers that the partic- 
ular variety makes. Some varieties naturally make 
very large tubers and others just as naturally 
make smaller tubers, so you should not expect all 
tubers to be of uniform size. Delivery January to 
May. Named varieties 60c ea., mixed varieties 
40c each.
