A CHOICE ALL-SEASON 
FLOWERING POT PLANT 
This interesting and uncommon pot 
plant from Central America is disting¬ 
uished by its profuse showing of bloom 
and its very long flowering season. The 
variety we offer, A. longiflora, bears 
large, long-tubed flowers of exquisite 
shades of purple and is not difficult to 
handle; it is an excellent house plant. We 
furnish the dormant rhizomes until 
about May 1st of each season. These 
should be planted 6 to 8 in a 5-inch pot 
that is one-third filled with drainage 
material; plant in slanting position one- 
inch deep in a soil composed of one-third 
each of loam, leaf-mold and sand and be 
sure to keep moist at all times; keep 
away from hot sun; and you will have 
a lovely showing for many months. 
Blooming size rhizomes, 6 for 40c; 
12 for 75c; 25 for $1.35. De¬ 
livered prepaid anywhere.
