EPIPHYLLUMS 
Of all the beautiful flowering plants im- 
ported from the four corners of the earth, 
none can excel in spectacular appeal the 
epiphyllums. Although native to the tropi- 
cal countries such as Brazil, Mexico and the 
Argentine, the majority of these gorgeous 
types have in the past been hybridized in 
Europe. And now in our own Southern 
California numerous, superior kinds are 
being developed. 
One could imagine nothing more con- 
genial to Southern California climate and 
modern day architecture than these stream- 
lined plants bearing a profusion of strik- 
ingly beautiful flowers from 6 to 10 inches 
in diameter, in all the colors of the rain- 
bow. There are white kinds fringed in lime 
yellow and soft brown, pinks in monotone 
or iridescent tints, purples with flame and 
chartreuse, molten gold with vermillion, 
bronze with scarlet, blood-red with violet 
and others too numerous to mention. 
Some types are effective in wall or hang- 
ing baskets, but the majority display their 
charms to best advantage when trained 
against a trellis or wall. 
Our “Jewelled Corridor’ during May 
and June presents a spectacle of dazzling 
beauty that you cannot soon forget.
