BOWIEA VOLUBILIS 
CLIMBING ONION 
This very rare and unique succulent has a 
large, green, tunicate bulb that sits on top ot 
the soil, after it reaches the size of a walnut! 
It may reach 4 inches in diameter. From the 
top it periodically sends forth a twining shoot 
up to 8 feet long that bears a filmy tangle of 
fern-like leaves and green flowers. After the 
foliage turns yellow withhold water three or 
four months. When watered again it will send 
forth another shoot. A real curiosity and quite 
easily grown. A few large 214-3 inch 
bulbs, $5. Smaller, $1. Smaller plants........ 50c
