KENTIA PALM 
KENTIA 
KENTIA FORSTERIANA. The most useful of in¬ 
door palms, of slow gorwth and less affected by

plants. Their graceful dark green arching leaves 
make them most effective. See our assortment 
of sizes, both single, and bushy specimens with 
three or more in a pot, in our spacious green¬ 
houses. Prices furnished on application. 
Appropriate containers are as essential to 
harmonious effects as are the living plants. 
The effect of the most beautiful flowering 
or foliage plant will not be pleasing unless 
it is properly blended with an appropriate 
background and in a fitting container. 
Our personally selected foreign and do¬ 
mestic pottery places us in a unique posi¬ 
tion to provide a distinctive beautification 
for your home. 
Let us help you select the plants and 
pottery for your interior gardens. 
ALOE 
Interesting succulents for pot culture, hardy 
indoors and out in California. We have a great 
variety, listing in this section two of the most 
beautiful and useful brilliant flowering species. 
ALOE ARBORESCENS. Flaming Aloe. Long, 
narrow, pointed leaves, thick and toothed on the 
edges. Outdoors in tubs, pots, or in the ground 
it forms a trunk and many offshoots, making a 
large bushy plant, from which in winter rise long, 
bright-red flower spikes like a Red-Hot-Poker. 
Valuable with Spanish and California plantings in 
patios and front yards. Indoors in pots they are 
very durable. 4-inch pots, 50c; Large specimens 
for outdoor planting, $1.50. 
CLIMBING ALOE 
CIBOTIUM 
DRACAENA 
DRACAENA ROTHIANA. A symmetrical plant, 
in form somewhat like Pandanus, but with broad, 
smooth green leaves. One of the most durable 
and handsome of house plants. 4-inch, $1.00; 
6-inch, $2.00; Larger sixes, to $7.50. 
PORTULACARIA 
PORTULACARIA. Indoors or out, this pictur¬ 
esque plant, with reddish brown fleshy branches 
and round, jade-green leaves is most attractive. 
4-inch pots, 75c; 8-inch pots, (illustrated) $2.50. 
CLIMBING ALOE 
ALOE CILIARIS. The leaves are long, narrow 
and graceful, stems climbing, making a beautiful 
specimen if trained to a stake or upon a wall in 
the patio, porch or window box. Grown in a 
hanging basket or window box the long branches 
will droop far over the edges, and the flowering 
shoots will curve upward like glowing candles 
from the pendant branches. (See colored illustra¬ 
tion of these beautiful flowers). By pruning, or 
keeping in a small pot, they may be formed into 
bushy plants of great interest. Beautiful, too, 
rambling over rocks, or on a wall or bank, in 
either full sun or shade. Fine potted plants, for 
indoor, conservatory, patio, or garden. 75e. 
PHILODENDRON 
For both the trailing type, used like Ivy, and 
the Monstera, see Vine Section.
