In sending out this list of plants, we of 
FANTASTIC GARDENS are hoping you will be pleased 
to find so many plants that are so difficult to 
locate. Our collection of tropical shade plants 
is possibly the most extensive in this country on 
a commercial basis. 
Many of the plants are first offerings, others 
are so rare that we are not able to keep them in 
stock very long. We are not bringing to special 
attention many items that are extremely limited as 
that sometimes creates an unnatural desire for them; 
we prefer to have the new owner get the plants on 
their real merit. If the descriptions are not com- 
plete énough, please forgive us (we do not have 
thousands of plants for sale, just a few of each 
kind) and we hope the short descriptions will give 
you an idea of what the plant is like. But PLEASE 
use the good literature on plants such as: 
The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture and 
Hortus Second by L. H. Bailey 
Tropical Planting and Gardening ~- L. H. Macmillan 
The Cultivated Aroids - M. R. Birdsey 
COLOR SLIDES: We have a collection of color 
slides which are available to Garden Clubs and 
specialized plant societies. Secretaries should 
write for details on club stationery. Our exten- 
sive collection contains many specimen plants 
which are shown in their full glory by this means.
