3 HYDROSME RIVIERI—A decorative plant for the summer 
garden, sometimes called LEOPARD PALM for the odd spot- 
ting of the stem, and the great, gracefully arching digitate 
leaves. Tubers should be dug in late autumn and stored. In 
late winter, from the dry tubers, come curious exotic blossoms 
of large. size, maroon and rose-tinged green. Tubers, about 
2-inch diameters, each $1.50. These are not large enough yet 
to bloom, but will give fantastic summer decorative effects.
