Van Bourgondien caladium - what variety

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1997.02.03 at 22:02:48(293)
The spring Van Bourgondien catalog has two pages of caladiums. The right
hand page has a photo of a group of varied caladiums. The caption to the
image indicates the names of 5 of the varieties. In addition to those 5,
there is a leaf which is nearly purely white with a tiny green edge around
it. It apparently isn't listed.
Does anyone out there know the name of that variety?
Also, the Pink Beauty listed in the Van Bourgondien catalog is listed as
being dwarf. The Pink Beauty in the Wayside catalog is listed as being
tall. Is one of these an error or are they truly and short and tall
growing variety of the same cultivar?
