OTHER ITEMS FROM THE EVERGLADES 
One of the most beautiful and exotic sights to a plant lover is her 
or his first entrance into a "cypress dome" or swamp of the deep 
Everglades. At first sparse, the growth gradually becomes more dense, 
then suddenly, one steps into a low area (which in wet times would 
require a boat or deep wading). The limbs of the trees are covered 
with plant life, the abundance of each item depending upon the partic- 
ular swamp. There will be orchids in variety, some rare and hard to 
spot, air plants or bromeliads, ferns, moss and lichens. 
One of the most attractive items one could have in greenhouse or 
solarium would be a limb from one of these trees, cut with all its 
plant life thriving. You may have specimens 5 to 5 inches in diameter 
at $2.50 per foot up to 100 feet. Special instructions with order.
