WHILE WE'RE WAITING FOR SPRING,

THERE'S "CALADIUM"

Now's the time to start planning your "jungle,"

be it inside or outside.

And what better way to plant something grand

than to buy some giant Caladium bulbs.

These monster tubers go on sale in March,

and are ready to plant when there's no danger of freezing.

(That means when WINTER IS FINISHED.)

Caladiums come out of their dormant period in March

and can be planted indoors or out.

These giant jungle dwellers have earned their common name,

Elephant Ears, because they DO get that big

and provide great atmosphere to your garden.

So give them lots of room, and stand back . . .

They'll have you forgetting about cold, snowy weather!
