. Boddington's quality bulbs, seeds and plants / Arthur T. Nursery Catalogue. i08 Arthur , 342 West lAth New Vork City CALADIUMS FANCY-LEAVED VARIETIES This plant in the past few years has become very much in demand. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and have such a variety of color in their foliage, making them very interesting as well as beautiful. Among ornamental foliage plants there are none more beautiful in design or gorgeous in coloring than the Fancy-leaved Caladiums. VVell-growii plants are simply wonderful in the colorings and markings of the leaves, embracing every degree and shade that can be formed of pure white, deep green and intense crim- son. As pot-plants they form specimens of -great beauty and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decorative plants, lending striking effect to any collection of foliage plants. They are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially shaded locations. Fancy-leaved Caladiums are easily cultivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees Fahr., and a moist atmosphere. The bulbs should be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty of sharp sand. Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass, and shaded only during very briglit sunshine. During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not sink below 60 degrees Fahr. We offer an English collection of 22 new or very rare fancy-leaved Caladiums of the handsomest transparent-leaved kinds, consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country, and were selected from over 100 varieties. Extra-selected bulbs 20 cts. each, $ per doz., $18 per 100 Argyrites. Ground color light green, center and margins white, with many
