ANTHURIUM SCHERZERLANUM 
One of the most exotic of tropical plants suitable for the home is the Anthurium 
Scherzerianun. 
Offerings of these plants by us is limited to the red and varigated hybrids of 
which there are many types. Some in solid red and others in spotted varieties of 
red of many shades. 
Growing the plants in the home has become increasingly popular as the prices are 
now within the reach of all. Small plants will bloom but the flower will naturally 
be smaller until the plant increases in size. 
The growing requirements are simple. Ample water with good drainage. Any tempera- 
ture above 55 degrees and a north or south window will give good results. Syring- 
ing the leaves or washing them when dusty will be beneficial. Although they like 
humidity and cen be grown over a shallow pan filled with cinders they do want drain- 
age. The resting period is usually in the late winter although we do have some in 
bloom all thru the year. While resting it is well not to overwater. 
Plants shipped out of pots may be repotted in a mixture of one third each of peat, 
sand and light soil. They also do very well in osmunda and screenings of orchid 
peat would be excellent. Straight sphagnum is not recommended as it dies and be- 
comes water logged and sour. This can be used however as a top dressing to encour- 
age roots and after they form the top may be cut out and a new plant started. 
Diseases are few and the only attention is to spray when new growth starts as plant 
lice will attack the new growth and sometimes a flower as it is forming. A mild 
solution of Red Arrow or D DT will kill then. 
Flowers will last several weeks and large plants will produce l to 6 blooms a year. 
Since the flower lasts about a month you are assured of a continous growth for 
several months. 
Heavy production enables us to offer, subject to prior sale, small plants at $3.00, 
medium at $4.50 and large plants et 47.50. Colors cannot be guaranteed. Discount 
of 73% in lots of 25 and 10% over this.
