Lithops 
Turn to illustration om page 33. These small 
mimicry plants are among the most fascinating of all. 
There are almost a hundred species of them, each 
one varying in the pattern and the coloration of the 
“windows’”’ in the flat top of the 2 jointed leaves. 
They thus mimic the pebbles among which they are 
found. Charming blossoms. 
CULTURE. They like a sandy, gravelly soil with 
some leafmold, and since they come from the driest 
parts of the African deserts require care in watering. 
They rest in the winter.

TIGER'S JAWS 
Fascinating are these odd African mes- 
embrianthemums with their queer, fiercely 
toothed leaves. Certainly they are amongst 
the very easiest of house plants to grow, 
thriving in sun or shade, wet or dry. They 
bloom most freely during fall and winter. 
Our plants have made a fine display the 
past six months. 
CULTURE. These plants bloom most freely in fall 
and winter when they are making growth. They 
should be kept moist at this time and allowed to 
rest fairly dry from June till late August. Give them 
a quite sandy soil and if you want luxuriant growth 
feed them occasionally. They will quickly form nice 
clusters. 
All plants offered are blooming size.
