Re: Caladium Sources?

From: Tom Croat <croat at mobot.org> on 1997.01.29 at 03:30:27(250) Dick: All of the forms you sent me last year did well, depending on the soil where I put them. Those in rich deep soil in shadier areas did better. I would be interested in getting more and will await your response. Is it time for me to do the operation on the tubers. You said that I should cut them during the winter but I have forgotten the details. I must try to find the reprint that you sent me.
