IVY (HEDERA) 
RUBBER TREE 
Foliage Plants for Home, Store and Office 
Modern architecture and modern living calls 
for the inclusion of plants as part of the in- 
terior decoration. Plants suitable for indoor 
culture in pots, tubs, etc., and hardy enough 
to stand the growing conditions indoors are 
listed below. These are all excellent foliage 
plants, many having brightly colored leaves. 
Select a light airy place for the plants. Dark 
corners are generally unsuitable. Keep the 
pots watered so the soil is moist but not soggy 
wet. Generally a watering schedule will be 
developed as one notices the regularity of 
watering required. Philodendrons trained on 
“totem poles’’ of sphagnum moss should be 
watered both at the pot and the moss. Leaves 
collect dust which should be sponged gently 
off or sprayed once in a while so they can 
breathe. Use plain water only. 
If you do not find the plants you need listed, 
please ask us about them, specimens of most 
kinds are available. 
Crotons. Outstanding for the brilliantly col- 
ored leaves, usually reds and yellow predomi- 
nating. Various formations of leaves as narrow, 
broad and corkscrew give one a choice in 
selecting Crotons. Give more water than 
other plants. Crotons cannot stand to dry out.
