PANDANUS Gcrew Pine). 
Mr. Eben E. Rexford writes the following cultural note expressly for 
this book: ‘‘ This plant—better known as Screw Pine, because of the spiral 
arrangement of its leaves—is extremely ornamental when well grown. 
Especially P. Veitchi, whose long, gracefully curving leaves are broadly 
striped with creamy white on a 
green ground. This variety makes 
a charming table decoration when 
its pot is hidden by vines or other 
greenery. The Pandanus requires 
about the same treatment as the 
Draczena, but is better adapted to 
culture 1 in the living-room than that 
plant is.
