No Succulents surpass the Aloes in splendor of 
bloom or number of interesting species. They abound 
in South Africa, varying in size from the small Tiger 
Aloe to fine tree-iike kinds 30/-40’ in height. All are 
pretty as small plants with their striped or spotted 
leaves and every collection should have them no mat- 
ter how small, for they grow so very easily. Most of 
them bloom during winter. 
CULTURE. They thrive with ordinary care, not be- 
ing particular as to soil or water. In summer they 
like as much light as possible. 
MARLOTH’S ALOE. A. Marlothii. One of the 
finest of all the Aloes both in flower and plant. 
The wide leaves are blue-green, covered on 
both surfaces with brown prickles, making a 
very arresting specimen. The flowers are bright 
orange colored in a many-branched spike. It is 
particularly choice as a small plant and I fully 
recommend it. A few plants only. 20c. 
ALOE AFRICANA. See illustration Page 31. 
A fine, quick-growing variety that grows up- 
right, forming a trunk quickly. Each 15ce.

dow, never growing large, with white-toothed 
leaves and pretty spikes of red flowers in sum- 
mer. 3” 50c.

of flowers in January! 6”-8” specimens 50c.

KARROO ROSE 
Lapidaria Margaretae 
A flowering stone from the Karroo, where it grows 
among quartz pebbles, among which it is very difficult 
to see. The vthole plant is of a lovely milky white 
suffused with rose, the leaves very smooth, The blos- 
soms are of a very rich corn yellow and appear on 
plants the size of the photo. Closely related to Din- 
teranthus. Likes a very sandy loam soil, keeping dry 
in the winter. Flowers in November. Found in 95 
uth Africa. Very rare c 
An 
stems sometimes being 6” wide. Makes 
a nice specimen 

FLOWERING STONES 
Dinteranthus 
These mimicry plants should be in every select col- 
lection. They resemble smooth quartz stones of a pleas- 
ing milk-white, often flushed with violet or rose and 
lunutely punctate. They flower when quite small. 
the blossoms bright corn yellow. Sandy soil and little 
water while resting. 
DINTERANTHUS INEXPECTATUS. Nice plants.

DINTERANTHUS MICROSPERMUS, 25c. 
DINTERANTHUS PUBERULUS, 25c. 
BABY TOES 
Fenestraria rhopalophylla 
One of the rarest of the ‘‘Window Plants.’’ The 
top of each toe-shaped leaf is quite transparent: In 
the wilds it grows buried in the sand near the coast 
in Southwest Africa. Only the tips of the leaves are 
visible, the charming vthite flowers resting on the 
sand. Grow them in almost pure sand or sandy loam. 
We ship in small pots which should be placed in a 
larger 3”-4” pot with sand between. Keep dry 50 
in winter. Nice plants with pots...............0...0...---. c 

ST. ANDREW'S CROSS 
Crassula Triebneri, Nat. Size 
The pale green, dotted leaves are arranged in a 
cross and in winter are often flushed rose red. 
Grows easily, flowering in late spring and sum- 
mer. Since every plant flowers, no matter how 
small, I can offer plants like the photo only 2 
during ¥iinter and spring. Nice plants............. Oc

GHOST PLANT 
Byrnesia Weinbergii 
One of the best known succulents 
and certainly one of the most useful. 
It is a very graceful plant particularly 
SAND ROSES 
Anacampseros 
Some quite fascinating small succulents be- 
long to this little known genus. The ones 
listed are quite easily grown in a sandy soil 
and do well in either full sun or part shade. 
Several kinds may be grown in a pot together. 
They flower in the summer; the blossoms of 
some are an inch across and look like baby 
roses. Long lived. 
LOVE PLANT. Anacampseros lan- 
ceolata. One of the largest species 
with long leaves interspersed with 
bristly hairs. Grows very easily and 
the large, brilliant pink roses are 
freely borne. 19c. 
ANACAMPSEROS TOMENTOSA. One of the 
cobweb varieties, the plant being covered with 
cobwebby hairs. The leayes are truncate, the 
triangular tips overlapping like tiles on a roof. 
Flowers pink. very nice long-lived speci- 
men. 17c.

red flowers and quite large, oval, short pointed 
leaves vtith long hairs in the axils. 25c.

bright flowers are light red, the triangular 
leaves tinged bronze. Stems elongated. Very 
choice plant. 2Ic. 

SPLIT ROCK 
Pleiospilos Nelii, Nat. Size 
One of the finest of the mimicry or stone-like plants 
and one of the easiest succulents to grow. The fat 
granite-grey leaves grow naturally among similar grey 
rocks to hide them from the baboons and ostriches 
who are fond of them. They are visible on the veld 
only when they are crowned with their pretty amber- 
red blossoms in March. They often flower the first 
season. As q curiosity for your friends, place the plant

The varying colors, shapes and markings 
of the leaves are the fascinating features 
of the plants but you have a bonus in the 
lovely spikes of pink bells they so freely 
produce in the summer. Turn to rear cover
