PUBLICATIONS ON BROMELIADS 
Informative literature on the subject of bromeliads is very 
scarce; what is obtainable is usually in a foreign language or is 
purely botanical. The following is a list of more popular writings 
done in recent years in the United States, but ORY out of print, 
although on file in libraries for the student.

Foster, published by Ronald Press Co., 15 E. 26th St., 
New York 10, at $3.50. Autographed copies can be ob- 
tained from the authors at 718 Magnolia Ave., Orlando,

It is profusely illustrated with many photographs and 
drawings, including four kodachromes.
