Pure white. 50 cents. NEW AND CHOICE CALADIUMS. This class of beautiful varie- gated foliage plants, margined and delicately traced with va- rious rich colors, and elegantly spotted and mottled with rich shades of green, crimson, violet, rose and white, are exceedingly handsome when alone, or intermingled with other j)Iants. As a decorative plant they are unequalled, and for planting out in partly shaded places they have suc- ceeded admirably, for which purpose plant out June 1st, in shady positions, in well-en- riched and deeply dug ground; a mixture of finely decomposed manure or leaf mould and sand should be employed. They require a moist, warm temperature; great care must betaken in their earliest stages of gi-owth to firevent decay of the tubers or damping off. The tubers can be best pre- served during the winter in charcoal dust, in a warm room. 'We have revised our list, and offer a choice selection of sorts in two classes; the tubers are large and well matured. CLASS I. 75 cents. ALFRED BLEU. Green, white and flesh color. AUGUSTE RIVIERE. Green ; centre gray with crimson spots. BELLINI. Dark green, large crimson centre. BOIELDIEU. Bright orange crimson, broad green margin. CANNtERTI. Green, crimson centre, white blotches. DUCHARTRE. Green, white veined, shaded rose. LAMARTINE. Dark olive green, with crimson spots. PRIN
