Philodendron Cordatum 
This climbing genus has been taken up by the florists’ trade 
in a large way, since this plant adapts itself unusually well to 
the unnatural conditions of the average home better than 
most any other plant. A very large demand has ensued from 
the public. It is particularly siutable for sun parlor decoration, 
but does equally well in any part of the house, even in com¬ 
paratively dark situations. Can be grown successfully in pots 
or hanging baskets, but seems particularly “happy” in wall 
pockets. Florists have found an unusually large demand for 
this valuable trailing vine and it can be merchandised with 
the assurance of giving utmost satisfaction with a minimum of 
care. It furnishes a beautiful “green atmosphere” and at¬ 
tracts no little attention. Try out this valuable plant in a 
merchandising way; we are sure you will follow with a repeat 
order in a short time.
