PHILODENDRONS 
ee 
Philodendrons are perfect plants for indoor decoration because of their attractive 
foliage and their durability. They can stand the dry conditions of today's buildings, 
and will grow with or without much daylight. 
We are extremely proud to introduce the new Self-Heading Philodendrons. These 
plants do not climb, but radiate their growth from a central crown. They are suit- 
able for indoors as the more familiar vining types, but generally more useful because 
they do not need supports. We are listing esveral new varieties and expect to name 
others later this year. 
Culture: Keep moderately moist. Give at least one good soaking per week and 
water intermediately if necessary. Mulch with peat or sphagnum to slow drying out. 
Wash foliage once a month with damp cloth. Feed with liquid fertilizer monthly. 
We recommend alternate feedings of Ortho-Gro and Wilson's Orchid Fertilizer.
