 which they may attach themselves. Like most araeeous plants 

 they require an abundance of moisture upon the leaves and 

 roots. The plants ma\ be propagated from the terminal 

 growth or by cutting up the old stem, each oode possessing 

 a dormant eye. The cuttings are placed in moss with bottom 

 heat and when new roots appear from the under portion of 

 the stem they should he potted into small pots in a sand> 

 loam soil.

 he seen at the Garden, the older plants attracting much 

 attention on account of the size and perforations of the 

 loaves. Several plants showing- both aerial and support- 

 ing roofs may be observed climbing upon the concrete wall 

 on the north side of the aroid house. In the fern house 

 a specimen is growing from the grotto adjacent to the water 

 fall, an excellent view of combined foliage, tiowers, and fruit 

 being obtained upon entering the south door. In the palm 

 house specimens are planted at the base of the large iron 

 girders upon which the plants are climbing.
