HOUSE PLANTS—ACHIMENES 
PHILODENDRON—VELVET LEAVED—We are not sure of the correct botanical name for this 
variety, so are calling it by the common name. It is identical in shape and habit of growth 
with P. cordatum, except the leaves look as if made of deep green velvet with lighter green 
transverse bands. When this variety becomes more plentiful it will entirely supplant 
P. cordatum. Exquisite. March 15th delivery. 21-inch pots, $1.00. 
POTHOS MARBLE QUEEN—Medium leaves with ground color pure white, streakings of emerald 
green. A very showy plant. 3-inch pot, $1.00. 
SCHEFFLERA—The newest thing in house plants. Leaves are divided into five or six segments, 
waxy green, and many leaves to the plant. Requires little attention and makes a decidedly 
different accent plant. Our best seller here at the nursery. 3-inch pot size, $1.00. 
ACHIMENES 
CULTURE—These lovely plants are as easily grown as African Violets, and thrive under 
the same conditions. However, they have the added advantage of growing out of doors in 
a sheltered, shady spot. The soil recommended for Rex Begonias, with the manure, 1s 
suitable. Plant about one inch deep, water sparingly until growth starts, then keep moist. 
Start fertilizing with liquid manure when plants are approximately two inches high. 
Rhizomes are very small, resembling seed, so several should be used to each pot. Do not 
judge the size of the plant-to-be by the smallness of the rhizome. January through April 
delivery. Choice and rare. $2.50 per dozen postpaid.

purple on light ground and edged lilac. Yellow center.
