Anthurium andraeanum. Until very recently these have been high in price. But 
now prices are really reasonable. The cordate leaves make them useful as foliage plants 
alone but a mature plant will flower six times a year. Flowers are calla-like, but rather 
flat, in glossy red, pink, orange, coral, rose and rarely white. They are much used for 
cut flowers in arrangements and corsages. They are ever-blooming if given correct 
conditions at all times, but sometimes take a vacation when very hot, very cold or very 
dry. 
Culture. Anthuriums and Spathiphyllums are tender tropical plants, suitable only 
for pot culture. Soil formula. They will grow in most any organic compost. We use 
and advise one part old osmundine, (discarded from orchid pots, new will do); one 
part peat. Add enough Sponge Rok or coarse sand to make compost very gritty and 
to hasten quick drainage. See Potting Directions under General Culture. Add a thin 
layer of sphagnum, on surface to prevent eroding the surface when watering. Set plant 
low in an oversized pot and as it grows, new roots are formed on compost surface 
which should be covered with more sphagnum. When compost surface reaches rim 
of pot, shift to larger pot, or build up with sphagnum. New roots must be kept covered. 
Use Spoonit or liquid manure once a month, after plants are well established. The 
preferred minimum night temp. is 60° or over. 45° does little harm other than to stop 
growth and flowering. 70° to 80° is a good daytime temp. Air should be very humid. 
Spraying foliage daily increases air humidity. They should never become completely 
dry, thruout. Water about every two days. 
New Deal on Anthuriums. Last fall we reduced prices on Anthuriums and offered 
to ship in pots f.o.b. or by mail, out of pot, for the same price. Our orders increased to a 
volume of several times as many plants in the same period of time. We did not 
receive a single complaint of plants received in bad order or of failure to grow. There- 
fore we are continuing this plan by which you may get the plants and save dollars. 
State with order, whether by mail or express. 
The best way to ship is, of course by express. But rates are now away up. Plants 
are set back a little if sent by mail, loose roots and you must provide the compost. But 
they recover quickly and you save a lot on total cost. Orders for plants to go by mail 
will be filled as soon as weather permits. They cannot be shipped north in winter. We 
can send only by express in winter. 
Anthurium andraeanum, Shaffer Hybrids are the best. Plants should begin to 
flower at 10” to 12” height. We have had 6” plants flower and very often 8” - 10” 
flower. They grow and multiply so rapidly that we are forced to make sharp cuts in 
our former prices. They are really bargain prices. If you have a warm living-room 
or a hobby greenhouse, by all means take advantage of these offers. The figure 
enclosed in parentheses thus (3”) is size of pot advised for’ the plant. Prices, Assorted 
Colors, out of pots, postpaid or established in clay pots, by express, f.o.b. Plants 3” to

10” - 12”, (5” or 6”), $3.50. The last should flower very soon. Plants over 12”, that have 
flowered, or will flower very soon, (5” - 6”), $5.00. 
Named Colors, plants that have flowered, our choice, 10” or over, $5.50. Your 
choice of color except white, $6.09. 
A. crystallinum. A beautiful foliage plant that does not need flowers. Leaves are 
cordate-ovate to 10” wide and 14” long, deep velvety green, prominently veined white. 
Pale rose on underside. Blooming sizes $2.50 and $3.00. Smaller plants, $1.50 and $2.00. 
Spathiphyllum Clevelandi. Close relative and formerly classed as an Anthurium. 
Foliage is oblong and pointed. Flowers are pure white and long, very attractive. They 
are easy to grow as house plants, in 4” pots. Small plants, $1.50 and $2.00. Blooming 
sizes, often in bloom when sent, $2.50 and $3.00. Postpaid or by express, f.o.b.
