Ottumwa, Iowa 
Gentlemen: 
In the fall of 1951 I ordered your 
“Cake Pan Special’, and in November 
the plants arrived in excellent condition, 
and were very well packed. The two 
tlooming size plants each produced 
three leads, so that there were six blos- 
soms early this year, and the other had 
two leads, one with two flowers, the 
other with four. There are four new 
leads growing on the first plant. The 
other is later blooming, and the flowers 
are still open. 
As this is my first attempt at caring 
for orchids,I am quite pleased. The 
seedling has put out. several new 
growths.

The Fabulous Aloe 
Aloe Vera (the True Aloe) is one 
of the oldest, finest, hardiest, most 
decorative, and most useful plants in 
the world. 
We grow them primarily for their 
beautiful foliage and their striking yel- 
low, bell-shaped flowers and because 
they are easily grown with orchids. 
But they have an added important 
value as well as their beauty and hardi- 
ness. The light green, jeily-iike inte- 
r.or of the leaves is used for the treat- 
ment of burns. For minor sunburn and 
light burns of other types, cover the 
burnt areas with the jelly found inside 
the leaves and keep the burnt area cov- 
ered until recovery is complete. The 
leaf may be sliced up, peeled, and the 
jelly gently rubbed on the burnt area. 
For poison ivy, heat rash, insect bites, 
treat as for burns. (Note: Aloe Vera 
is not a cure-all and for any serious 
injury a Doctor should be consulted.) 
Aloe Vera plants are easily grown 
in any good soil, in pots on your win- 
dow sill. Simply follow the same direc- 
tions g'ven for the growing of orchids, 
This plant, too, likes to dry out between 
waterings and wants to be fed once a 
week with Fenoreo Plant Food. 
Now, you can have an Aloe Vera 
plant that is not only beautiful and 
easily grown but medicinally valuable 
as well. 
Price only $2.50 each, Postpaid. 
Plants 8’ to 10” tall, ready to pot. Full 
growing instructions included, 
If included in any orchid order— 
only $2.00 each, f.o.b. H
