PAE PINEAPPLE FAMILY 105 
bracts. TT. pulchra is another kind with pretty flowers. 
T. splendens, has the foliage barred with almost black, regular 
spots. 
Most of the foregoing species can be grown on blocks of 
wood, or in baskets in peat and moss as recommended for Or- 
chids. ‘They should be kept moist during summer, and have 
a thorough rest in winter. When well grown and kept clean and 
free from dust, they are highly ornamental, and useful for table 
decoration. 
A terrarium or double window will suit all, but even in the 
most arid atmosphere and under the most adverse conditions 
they generally do well, provided watering is not overdone.
