Fancy-leaved caladiums have, in recent years, grown rapidly in popular favor, not only for the decoration of the conservatory, green- house and window-boxes, but nearly all the varieties succeed admirably if planted out-of-doors in partly shaded, sheltered borders, in well-enriched light soil, while for exhibition plants during the summer and fall months nothing can equal their beauty.
