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 Carnation tem- 
perature. 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 tlows or returns. Water sparingly 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.
