My second year to order from Bill and again the order was amazing. Incredibly healthy and large bulbs as well as fantastic and speedy shipping! I didn't think it was possible, but I think they're growing even better this year! Thanks again!

I ordered 5 tuberose bulbs from Bill via the DG marketplace.
They arrived within 2 days of my payment and were in great shape. I have to say they are also very very large clumps!
The price including shipping were so reasonable too.
Thanks Bill for being such a great vendor and nice guy to do business with!

Although I spent my first ten years on the *original* caladium farm in Lake Placid, my life and interests went in other directions than the family business -- long since sold -- and I knew virtually nothing about caladiums. Thus, when my older daughter said she wanted to use some of the varieties her grandfather had developed at her wedding, my wife and I were at a bit of a loss.

After several phone calls to older members of the family, we were able to determine the names of some of the cultivars my father, Capt. T. W. Webb, had bred. Time was short, and the wedding was a month ahead of the "regular" caladium season. We had a problem.

We decided to drive over to Lake Placid and check out the situation. Bill was the second wholesaler we called. Although it was a Saturday, he met us at his shop and walked us through a lengthy mini-course in caladium horticulture, including detailed instructions on how to force the bulbs.

We left with several bulbs each of Freda Hemple, Candidum, Red Flash, and a couple of other varieties. Bill had been out of Lord Derby, which our daughter had especially liked, but a box arrived three days later with the Lord on board -- at no additional charge.

The wedding was a smashing success, the caladiums were spectacular and -- as a poignant afternote -- they were on hand to be used at the funeral of Capt. Webb's wife, Claire, a month later. (She died, at age 99, two weeks after the wedding.)

Thanks, Bill. You'll be seeing us again.

I had been hearing such good things about Caladium Bulbs 4 Less from gardening friends on the Dave's Garden website, but must admit that I am skeptical when ordering through the mail without first seeing what I'm going to get.

Well, I can't say enough about this first experience with Caladium Bulbs 4 Less! I ordered 30 caladium bulbs and 3 clumps of tuberose. I am so pleased with these bulbs, I now wish I had ordered more! My order was shipped yesterday and arrived via FedEx at my door at 9 a.m. this morning! I received large sized healthy bulbs and tuberose clumps along with planting instructions.

I have bookmarked their website and will definitely be ordering from them again ... probably before summer even arrives!

I ordered caladiums and elephant ears from this company, and Bill could not have been more helpful in answering several questions via email prior to my order, as well as in shipping my order promptly. All of the bulbs are superior in quality and were carefully prepared for shipping. The instructions included with the order were excellent. I will order many more things from Bill!!! This is the best mail order experience I have had. If there were a "superior" rating, this company would get it!

Once again Bill has been most accomodating in sending me high quality bulbs with the best customer service possible. Thank you, Bill! You again earned an A+ from me!

In July, I responded to Bill's ad (which appeared on my DG home page) and ordered his offering of pink caladiums. I asked that they be sent asap, since we are in NH and we have little of the season left. Bill sent them right away and the bulbs were packed well, in good condition and with his usual user-friendly instructions. I'm amazed at the consistency of good experiences with this top-notch company! Thank you, Bill!!

I've grown many caladiums in my life, and hopefully many more in the future. I've bought from many sources and grown most of the popular varieties out there.

I have never grown caladiums as large, healthy and full as the ones you sent me. Your caladiums were top notch quality and were absolutely lovely in our front landscaping. I do want to encourage you; your caladiums you sent were incredible; far and away the highest quality caladiums we have ever grown! I hope you stay in the business for many years to come for the sake of all caladium lovers!

Another year, another order. Bill, you are truly an asset to the world of gardening! The quality of your caladiums exceed by far those I've seen from any other vendor. Bravo!

I ordered a dozen Gingerland caladiums last winter from Caladium Bulbs 4 Less. I didn't know caladium bulbs GOT that big! Ones I had ordered from another company were tiny and only sprouted a leaf or 2 (and cost twice as much!), but these filled two large areas in my shade garden with beautiful large leaves. Everyone who visited commented on them! Customer service was excellent as well (I was beginning to think service had gone out of style:-)). It's wonderful to deal with such a great company- price, product, AND service! I am definitely ordering more next year from this company!

This was my first year growing caladiums. I first ordered from Bill in March and he was great at communicating with me via email, watching the weather and finding a safe window of opportunity to ship my bulbs. He patiently and promptly answered my questions via email and directed me to other sources of information about caladiums as well. I ordered additional bulbs in June. His bulbs are huge and the quality is excellent. I have several containers brimming with caladiums. Although I am going to try to winter over the bulbs that I bought this year, I know I will be ordering from Bill again next year, to try some more varieties.

By far the best caladium bulbs I have ever grown! All of the bulbs were large, firm, and healthy. Every one of them grew into vigorous plants :) All of the bulbs were clearly labeled, with the different varieties packaged in separate bags.

Very nice!

I happened to see this company's add in the Dave's Classified. I was looking for a specific color of Caldium I had seen in a store once.

Bill was great in answerign all my emails and helping me to find the specific Caladiums I wanted. I order sevral types of the Jumbos and his Mammoth bulbs.

I have nevr seen Caldiums bulbs this huge before. The service and communication were excellent with this company and the product.. well I am still in awe of the size and quality of these bulbs.

I will definately be ordering many more bulbs from this company. : )

Thank you Caldiums 4 Less for such a pleasant and satifying shopping experience.

I ordered a 3# mix because I wanted to experiment with growing caladium for the first time and just did not know what I wanted colorwise and figured this was the way to go to maybe get some colors I liked. I did have grave doubts about what I might received.
What a pleasant surprise!! Fast service, and really impressive bulbs!! Several really big ones, though only one was promised in ad I saw, the rest were bigger than the ones I had looked at in prepackaged box store displays! I highly recommend this dealer.

Bill, is absolutely wonderful to work with. I asked him a million and one questions via email and he promptly answered everyone and was very helpful and gracious with his knowlege. He shipped them out when he promised and they arrived right on time. The bulbs were very large and healthy and packaged nicely. Each one was separately labeled with instructions on how to store them until they could be planted. He even added a bonus of his famous fertilizer mix just for caladiums! This is one of the best experiences I have had ordering anything from a company. Bill stands by his product and knows the answers to all the questions! He even looked at pictures of my garden to help me decide how many I would need to get the effect I was looking for....what a wonderful company to do business with...I will certainly be recommending his company to others as well as purchasing from him in the future! Thanks Bill for making this such a great experience!
