good orchid, but on account of the ex- 
trayagant price few people are able to 
possess one. Here is an opportunity or

growing sorts for only 35 cents. All 
that is necessary to grow it successfully 
is to secure the plant und a little moss 
bunched around the roots, to a piece of 
board or bark, a treatment similar to the 
Mexican Air Plant above, and suspend 
itin a window or conservatory. Keep 
the moss wet and the plant free from 
dust and you will have a unique and

AFRICAN SNAKE 
PALM,or RED CAL- 
LA, Amorphophallus 
Rivieri.—‘“Snake Palm,” 
“Devil’s Tongue,” and 
other curious names are 
given by the few who have 
possessed this wonderful 
aroid, probably for the 
reason that the stem sup- 
porting the large palm-like 
foliage is so distinetly 
marbled with large bloteh- 
es of pink, grey, dark 
green, and various other 
colors. Strong tubers will 
send up a most curious 
flower, often attaining the 
length of three feet on a 
stalk two or three feet high, 
resembling a gigantic Cal- 
la, only dark red in color. 
A fine plant for the lawn 
or for growing in pots.

$1 00 for extra large roots,
