HOUSE PLANTS 
CULTURE 
The following varieties of plants are grown 
primarily for their foliage. The majority of 
them prefer shade or broken sunlight and 
moist soil. They also appreciate having their 
leaves washed. Many people then dip a soft 
cloth in milk and wipe the leaves as this 
gives them a glossy appearance and does no 
harm. 

PHILODENDRON CORDATUM 
FICUS PANDURATA—The Fiddle Leaf Plant, now so widely used in modern interiors. Leaves 
dark glossy green, fiddle shaped, with distinct venation. Grows as easily as the other Ficus.

HOYA CARNOSA VARIEGATA—Green and white leaves that are thick, succulent, and shining.

red, white and green in wide stripes. A beautiful variety and is easily grown. Stock 
limited. March 15th delivery. 3-inch pot, $2.00. 
PANAMIGUS—An ideal plant for dish gardens or small container. Prostrate growth with dark 
green rounded leaves. New growth comes from below the ground, thus making a well- 
branched plant. The flowers are very tiny and are a light green. The flowering stems lie 
flat on top of the leaves and there are so many the leaves appear to be encrusted. Should 
only be watered from bottom of the pot. March 15th delivery. 2-inch pot, 50c. 
PEPEROMIA, MINIATURE VARIETY—This is another plant we are not sure of naming cor- 
rectly. However it grows only about three inches high, stems are bright red and the 
tiny leaves are not quite a quarter of an inch long. Upright habit of growth with the 
leaves clothing the stems from the base to top. New stems will eventually fill the pot, 
no pinching required. 2-inch pot, 50c. 
PEPEROMIA SANDERSII (Watermelon Begonia )—Not a Begonia at all, but it does look like 
a tiny watermelon. Leaves dull green with grayish white bands. 21-inch pot, 75c. 
PHILODENDRON CORDATUM—Roundish, rich green leaf. May be allowed to trail or climb. 
. Do not keep soil too moist. This species makes a thoroughly satisfactory house plant, 
with very handsome specimens attainable without special pains by the grower. 21-inch 
pot size, 50c.
