| In our coastal belt of California a great number of the Mar~ .; 
Jashingtons never stop blooming. , We had one plant of Conspicuc..5 
that was continuously covered with bloom for over 18 months unt: 
an ungeasonal frost hit after the plant had developed a great a- 
mount of soft new growth. That stopped the blooming and nearly 
finished off the plant. r) m0 
The Martha Washington is truly Regal plant that it is callea 
in England. Those of you who live in the East would do well to 
try some of these wonderful plants. If they are kept under cool 
_greenhouse conditions you will find mothing more beautiful. Under 
average house conditions they will give a reasonable display of 
gorgeous bloom.
