Crimson King 
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 adverse conditions will 
little affect it. For fern dishes, plant a sufficient quan¬ 
tity 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. 
THE TWO

easily, blooms freely and the flower is something to be proud 
of. The Brugmansia blooms indoors in winter and in the 
garden in summer. The plant has large tropical leaves, with 
blooms eight inches wide at the mouth, resembling a trumpet, 
hence the name, “Angel’s Trumpet.” Pure white in color and 
as fragrant as a Jasmine. Extra strong plants, 35c each, 3 
for $1.00, postpaid. 
Carmine Fountain Plant 
A handsome graceful house plant and easy to grow. A 
strange looking plant with large light green foliage with 
heavy rib markings. The flowers are a bright Carmine Red 
which form at the base of leaf with long tassel-like flowers

mer. A worth while plant to add to any good house collection.
