ALOE 
No Succulents surpass the Aloes in splendor of bloom 
or number of interesting species. They abound in 
southern Africa, varying in size from the Tiger Aloe to 
fine, treelike kinds like A. Bainesii. All are pretty as 
small plants, some increasing in beauty and grandeur 
with age. They are glorious in blossom, flowering prin- 
cipally in winter, the spikes often as tall as a man. 
CULTURE. They thrive with ordinary care, not being 
particular as to soil or water. In summer they like 
plenty of sun. Fast growers. 
Aloe africana. A popular variety with 
prickly leaves, eventually with a _ slender 
trunk. Particularly attractive and easy to 
grow. Your collection should include it.

plant. Large blooming size, 7-15 arms, 35c.
