Philodendron (Phileo, to love, and den- 
dron, a tree) is a genus of plants native 
to Tropical America of which there are 
over 200 varieties, These vines or trail- 
ing plants are probably used more for 
home decoration than any other foliage 
plants. They are ideal for that purpose 
as they need no direct sunlight and re- 
quire average watering. They are not 
easily infected with disease or infested 
with insects. Philodendrons respond to 
average room temperatures and condi- 
tions better than most foliage plants, 
and grow moderately fast. They may he 
grown on supports or allowed to trail. 
Philodendrons are probably more exotic 
in appearance than all tropicals. We are 
offering the following varieties and 
plants closely related (Epipremnum Mir- 
able) found to be easiest to grow and
