Change All Your Ideas about These 
Here’s the most exciting new plant development for Central 
Florida since Holmes introduced Azaleas here in 1923! We 
are frankly amazed at the astonishing new garden beauty and 
effect achieved by these magnificent and spectacular new and 
rare Super Philodendrons! 
Holmes has spent years on these Supers, dealing directly 
with America’s foremost explorer and botanist. He found them 
during years of travel and living with the Indians of South 
America. HOLMES AND ONLY ONE OTHER NURSERY 
IN AMERICA will have them all— and here they are in Tampa, 
rare, startling, exclusive for you! 
Grow outdoors and in— fill huge vistas of your garden, patio, 
border— create giant exotic single plantings— so extraordinary 
in size, shape and leaf design they literally stop traffic. Yet, do 
not require unusual care—just the ordinary extra attention 
you would give any prized possession. 
Come to Holmes now for these tropical wonders from 
another world! Read about them in the feature article in 
Flower Grower magazine for October.
