1998 Caladiums

From: "Richard Mansell (BIO)" <mansell at chuma.cas.usf.edu> on 1998.02.04 at 15:36:49(1900) Greetings, last year I was able to get 12 different Caladium cultivars from a local grower. He has notified me that there will be sufficient quantities to offer this year for anyone wanting to grow these in their yards. I have put photos of the plants at: http://www.cas.usf.edu/~mansell/pic3.html +More He is offering these for 25 cents per tuber (no. 2) and the postage will be approximately $3 for up to 20, $4 for up to 50, and $5 for up to 70. He can also provide tubers of the Colocasia (edo type) that Julius has been promoting as an excellent food source (Julius has even provided recipies to those interested). The grower also has tubers of Alocasia odora. The latter two are fairly large in size (3-6" in circumference) and will add a bit to the postage. These tubers will be 30 cents each. This offer is a public service to aroid-L members. If you are interested, please let me know by private mail. You may also use the "mail to" box on the web site. Maybe some of you who ordered some of these plants last year can tell the listserve how they performed. Dick -- Richard L.
