Philodendron 
“The Wonder Vine”; Also Known as 
Devil’s Ivy 
We cannot say too much in praise on the value 
of this vine for use in fern dishes, -wall pockets, 
baskets or any place where anything else will not 
thrive. It is by far the best plant for use in the 
home as under-watering, over-watering or any ad¬ 
verse conditions will little affect it. For fern 
dishes, plant a sufficient quantity in dish and pin 
the vine to the soil with greening pins and it will 
root at every joint and form a compact mass of 
green heart-shaped leaves. Give it a trial and see 
for yourself. Everyone knows the value of English 
Ivy in the home, yet the Philodendron surpasses it 
by far. Price, 35c each; 3 for $1.00, postpaid.
