EPIPHYLLUMS 
Of all the beautiful flowering plants 
imported from the four corners of the 
earth, none can excel in spectacular 
appeal the epiphyllums. Although native 
to the tropical 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 
streamlined plants bearing a profusion of 
strikingly beautiful flowers from 6 to 10 
inches in diameter, in all the colors of the 
rainbow. 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 
hanging baskets, but the majority display 
their charms to best advantage when 
trained against a trellis or wall. 
Our “Jeweled Corridor’ during May 
and June presents a spectacle of dazzling 
beauty that you cannot soon forget.
