Dreer's garden calendar : 1880 . dreersgardencale1880henr Year: 1880 y NEW AND CHOICE CALADIUMS. This class of beautiful variegated foliage plants margined and delicately traced with various rich col- ors, and elegantly spotted and mottled with rich shades of green, crimson, violet, rose and white, are exceed- ingly handsome when alone, or intermingled with other plants. As a decorative plant they are unequalled being largely used as exhibition plants for summer and autumn fairs when grown in pots, and for planting out m partly shaded places they have succeeded admirably, for which purpose plant out June 1st, in shady posi- tions, in well-enriched and deeply dug ground; a mix- ture of finely decomposed manure or leaf mould aril sand should be employed. They require a moist, warm temperature; great care must be taken in their earliest stages of growth to prevent decay of the tubers or damping off. The tubers, after drying off in the pots in the autumn, can be best preserved during the winter in charcoal dust, in a warm room.
