THE JEWEL ORCHID 
Haemeria discolor var. Dawsonianus—One of the finest of the Jewel Orchids. 
This jewel has foliage of almost unreal character, being nearly black velvet 
with reddish gold pencil stripes lengthwise of the leaf. This small plant 
with its rosette of 3'’ leaves must be grown under humid conditions as in a 
terrarium. A conversation piece especially when the spikes of white flowers 
are produced in January. Cultural directions sent with every plant. 
MISCELLANEOUS FOLIAGE PLANTS 
Cyperus diffusus—''Dwarf Umbrella Plant'’—Resembles the taller Umbrella 
Plant (C. alternifolius) but hardly grows more than one foot tall. 
Dracaena goldieana—Upright plant. The large glossy green leaves have 
transverse bands of silver green. A real beauty—one of the most sought 
after plants in recent years. 
Ficus parcelliimShrub with oblong pointed bright green leaves irregularly 
blotched with green and white. Likes a bright situation. 
Pereskia aculeata var. godseffiana—lIt is hard to believe that this is a cactus 
with its golden leaves. New leaves and underside of older leaves pink. 
Unusual. 
Tacca laevis—This plant is called ‘‘The Cat’s Whiskers’’ because of its many 
black filaments protruding from the almost black flower bracts. The broad 
dark green leaves make this plant a good decorator. 
Hoya carnosa variegata—' ‘Variegated Wax Plant’’—This bright pink, green 
and white variegation of an old favorite house plant is always attractive. 
Unusual head of waxy pink flowers.
