TROPICAL FLOWERING PLANTS AND VINES 
Hoya — Wax Plants 
Hoya Carnosa—WAX PLANT. An old 
favorite, dark green, fleshy wax leaved 
vine. Produces large clusters of fra- 
grant, waxy, flesh colored, star shaped 
flowers, each flower centered with a 
tiny pure white wax star shading to 
deep rose at the eye with thin pencil 
line star of yellow within the rose eye. 
Very striking bloom, new blooms are 
produced on the old bloom stems. Does 
well with support in a pot, likes sun. 
Small Plants 75c. 
Hoya Carnosa Exotica—NEW VARIE- 
GATED WAX PLANT. We are offering 
this for the first time. Has fleshy, waxy 
leaves. Leaves predominantly white, 
edged irregularly with two shades of 
light green. Leaves slightly ruffled. Truly 
exotic as the name implies. This new 
variety is a real beauty as the foliage is 
really different. Small Plants $1.25. 
Hoya Carnosa Variegata 
Hoya Carnosa Variegata—VARIEGATED 
WAX PLANT. Leaves a rich dark green 
edged with white, new leaves tinted with 
shades of pink changing to green and 
white as they mature. A real beauty. Its 
waxy, fleshy foliage makes a good Varie- 
gated foliage plant. Rapid grower dur- 
ing the spring and summer months. 
Should be given a little fertilizer and in- 
creased watering in spring to encourage 
new rowth (this is true of all Hoyas). 
Keep on the dry side during winter 
months. Small Plants 75c. 
Gardenia Veitchi—GARDENIA. An _ im- 
proved type for pot culture, bearing its 
medium sized, pure white, sweet scented 
flowers more freely than the larger flow- 
ered varieties. Small Plants 75c, Med- 
ium $1.00, Large $1.75. 
Ixora Incarnata 
Flame of the Woods 
Ixora Incarnata — FLAME OF THE 
WOOCS. Beautiful dark green, glossy 
foliage covered in summer with huge 
clusters of bright red-orange blooms. 
Will bloom almost continuously if well 
fed and kept damp. This plant makes an 
ideal pot plant as it will bloom in a 
small pot with blooms so large you won- 
der how such a small plant can hold 
them. The flaming red flowers and dark 
green foliage are a beautiful subject for 
a window garden or patio planting. Slow 
growing and easily pruned to any shape. 
Ideal for planting out in warm climates 
where it makes a spectacular shrub. 
Small Plants 50c, Medium $1.00, Large 
$2.00. 
Jasminums 
Jasminum make exceptionally good pot 
plants. They are easy to grow and 
flower freely throughout the year even 
when grown in pots or tubs. Can be 
grown in full sun or partial shade. Good 
garden loam soil is best and an occa- 
sional fertilizing is all the care re- 
quired. Water as needed. You will want 
some of these for their fragrant at- 
tractive blooms and dark green foliage. 
Jasminum Alisaefollum—IMPROVED STAR 
JASMINE. One of the very best Jas- 
mines, since it blooms most of the year 
even in small pots. Pot plants with their 
clusters of pinkish white, sweet scented 
flowers are a constant joy to the grower. 
The bright glossy green leaves are borne 
on drooping, slender branches. Can be 
grown as a vine. Small Plants 50c, 
Medium 75c, Large $1.50.
