PLANTS FOR KIDS

99103 KID'S KORNER: Children love mimic caterpillars, green tapeworms that bloom, rouge plants with berries, and the odd carnivore or sensitive plant--and never can resist the easily grown "Mother of Thousands" Kalanchoes, a pot of "Squills" or "Electric Grass." We note what kids love here at the nursery and will choose 5 reliable plants for only PRICE: $10.00--and no, we will not insist on an I.D. as we do realize that numerous kids receiving this selection are well into their forties and fifties.

66777 ASCLEPIAS [GOMPHOCARPUS] PHYSOCARPA ASC HH CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 inflorescenceorescenceated "Hairy Ball" podded "Bladder Fruit" whose slim stems and willowy leaves are topped with creamy white flower clusters (beloved by butterflies) followed by big sea urchin shaped pods. South African easily reaching 6' in one summer. If you are of a somewhat more delicately evolved personality, please call this the "Swan Plant" as the clusters of creamy white (green tinted) blossoms are seen to resemble swans. Roots sometimes hardy in Z9 gardens; tho best grown as a tender annual outdoors.

56037 BEGONIA ERYTHROPHYLLA [HYB] BEG HP GHP PRICE: $ 3.50 (rz) "Beefsteak Beg." Waxy rounded leaves reddish beneath. Easy and reliable and beautiful AND the one probably flourishing on your grandmother's windowsill. This most ordered of all the Begonias we offer is an heirloom hybrid of the Mexican species manicata x hydrocotifolia.

56125 BEGONIA SNOOPY [HYB] BEG HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 (rz) Very thick surface rhizomes support the dramatically sized quilted leaves of bright yellow ochre, held aloft on thick succulent petioles righly haired. Give this one room. Equally impressive indoors or in your patio containers where its ochre gold coloring is amazing as an upright echo of Ipomea 'Margarite' which cascades in golden chartreuse abundance. We know of no other Begonia of easy culture giving such a bold golden chartreuse statement.

54059 BEGONIA TORCH [HYB] BEG HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 (c) Bright red flower (blushed salmon) clusters on stout short stems flanked with thick emerald angelwing leaves revealing red laquered undersides. While a compactly statured Cane, not a true dwarf. We consider this the most dependably performing cane Begonia.

52308 BILLBERGIA T.L.MEAD [HYB] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Softly mottled leathery leaves form erect urns; lovely weeping reblooming inflorescence or large rose bracts with blue & lime green petals--exhibiting its "Queen's Tears" parent's habit. Very easy houseplant; willing to bloom without any special fuss.

40107 CENTRATHERUM INTERMEDIUM COMP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Brazilian Button Flower" Serrate leaves scented of pineapple; bluish-lavender flowers resembling tiny Canadian Thistle blossoms, thus also called the "Martinique Batchelor's Button." Easy culture with bright light, thus excellent for use in outdoor bedding. Newly popular in urns and windowboxes; a traditional favorite in hobby greenhouses and humid plant rooms. Too much fun not to add to your mixed containers.

40117 CHLOROPHYTUM COMOSUM LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 2.00 "Spider Plant / Airplane Plant" Glossy green arched leaves; long bloom stems terminating with forks bearing tiny white starflowers, but soon bend with many thick-rooted plantlets vivipariously formed by the tiny blossoms. The basic utterly green, astoundingly vigorous species form which seldom appears in commerce now even though it was used formerly to provide early warning of high salts in water or excessive contamination in air quality by immediately developing browned leaf tips to warn its human companions of environmental problems. It will still be your canary in a cage for your house.

40118 CHLOROPHYTUM COMOSUM MANDIANUM LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 "Yellow Spider " Golden Ribbon Plant" Rather dwarf cultivar with rich yellow center stripes on curling short leaves thickly clustered; low dwarfish growing habit insures its popularity as a pot plant as its rich colors and congested habit will not elbow out its neighbors--This old old compact selection from Manda's Greenhouses has beennewly "rediscovered" as an excellent cultivar for summertime windowboxes.

40119 CHLOROPHYTUM COMOSUM VARIEGATUM LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 "White Spider" Unusual low succulent flat outstretched leaves margined ivory; odd cultivar of remarkable endurance. Far more succulent rubbery foliage with more lateral growth habit than the rest of the tribe: thus, emerging as the best form to plant out in bedding, urns, windowboxes, and so on as survives (and even perfers) high sun and wind exposure with minimal damage--and thus by far the most satisfactory cultivar to use in breezy exposed situations.

41357 CISSUS HAMADEROHENSIS VIT HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Tapeworm Grape" Thick slate green flattened tapeworm stems of long-spaced joints climb with tendrils; leaves deciduous. For kids, this is a totally neat plant. Sent as mossed URCuts if have none potted when you order as it seems to travel fine as a mossed cut.

60284 CRASSULA PORTULACEA CONVOLUTA GOLLUM CRA HP PRICE: $ 5.50 "Trumpet Jade" Stiff short woody trunks support tufts of bizarre leaves so fused that only a curious trumpet fish-mouth remains at the tip--rather like E.T.'s fingers! The cute name once again makes sense to customers thanks to current blockbuster films.

52081 CRYPTANTHUS NUBICOLA [hort] BRO HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Cloud Plant" Lovely dwarf with masses of hazy-pink narrow leaves in quite flat profiled rosettes gradually offsetting from the center after blooming; a natural for the small terrarium.

66017 CRYPTOCEREUS ANTHONYANUS CAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.50 "Zig Zag Cactus" or "Anthony's Rickrack" Fragrant peachy yellow and red night blooms on the sculpturesque flat fishbone designed stems. This is an epiphyte from Chiapas rainforest so avoid scorching sun and plant in an epiphytic mix--Epiphyllum culture. Smaller statured and far easier to grow and to flower than the massive Epiphyllum chrysocardium.

42349 CUPHEA IGNEA LYT HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.75 Mexican "Cigar Flower" Modest bushy shrublet, easliy pruned to any desired size, producing many dark red tubular flowers with dark band and white rim at the tip. Always the favorite of kids.

50514 CYANOTIS SOMALIENSIS COMM HP CGH $ 3.50 "Pussy Ears" Succulent creeper with triangular curved, glossy green leaves with soft white hairs creating a "fringe"; flowers said to be purple & orange--although after growing this twenty years, we have yet to observe any. Excellent for small baskets; perfect groundcover in succulent dish gardens and a strong performer on a succulent wreath.

40203 DORSTENIA CONTRAJERVA AMPLIFOLIA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Wart Flower" Wider, shallower hypanthodium lobing than the species form (see previous entry) with the typical leaf also less lobed; the thick tuberculed succulent stem is unsegmented. Easy culture. Probably the species known as "Drake's Foot" used as a cure for snakebite in Central & South America, thus also known as "Tortus Herb." Dramatic in a large terrarium, yet quite easily grown on any windowsill--if it (for mysterious reasons) remains unwatered for some extended period of time and drops its leaves, just begin watering again and a new set will soon appear as the pseudo-caudex trunk retains life for a good stretch of time (and remember to keep the dried leaves for your snakebite medical kit). Can you afford not to have this houseplant?

40207 DORSTENIA RADIATA MOR HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Similar to upright purple blushed succulent stalked mannii, but leaves darker & hypanthodium producing a great number of shorter rays; perfect in any child's collection as the necessary "Hand Plant" demanding only high light to succeed.

60632 ECHEVERIA RUNYONII MONSTROSUS CRA CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Frilled rosettes of fleshy crested-edged leaves with gray glaucous pearly surfaces distinguish this as the "Topsy Turvy Plant" because the alabaster leaves look as if they are tightly packed upside down into a tight ball--like an ivory football mum! Full sun brings out the best pearly toned surface and encourages the mid-winter wands of peach toned blossoms. Looks quite complicated, yet easy to grow with adequate light.

53021 ELETTARIA [AMOMUM] CARDAMOMUM DWARF ZIN HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Dwarf Cardamom Ginger" Small version of this spice--attractive, easily grown houseplant with wonderfully fragrant foliage quickly clumping in a windowsill pot. A tonic and expectorant, also ingested to aid digestion; belived by some to detoxify caffeine. We most emphatically do not stand by any of these claims!

65117GASTERIA SILVER STRIPES [HYB]LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.25Hybrid or selection we received thirty plus years ago from Ed Hummel; Upright, rigid fans of strikingly pebbled green striped coriaceus leaves with ridged surface of gray-silver. Unique designs resembling expensive jewelry.

40327 GYNURA SARMENTOSA [HORT] COMP HP CGH PRICE: $ 3.50 "Purple Passion Vine" Succulent jagged leaves carpeted with rich purple hair on gracefully arching or (if given a mossed pole) clambering stems; All the sarmentosas need full sun to perform well..

66038 HATIORA (RHIPSALIS) SALICORNIOIDES CAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.00 "Drunkard's Dream" or "Dancing Bones" Epiphytic Rhipsalis cousin with stiftly arching thickly-branched sprays of bottle-shaped branchlets tipped with yellow flowers fading to salmon; soon makes a wonderful windowsill potplant (or with time, a stunning hanging basket subject) with very regularly dividing bone shaped stem section forming a very symetrical outline. Distinct from and quite unlike its Rhipsalis kin in that the "Drunkard's Dream" has stem segments which are determinate, meaning in botanical terms that each little bottle shaped segment has a predetermined size and shape when it starts to be formed. Usually shipped as URCuttings in dry moss.

41183 HEDERA HELIX KOLIBRI ARAL HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.75 Silver-white and slate-gray flecked with emerald enameled on compact leathery leaves--forming a thick richly textured carpet with remarkably beautiful color saturation. Beautiful "Hummingbird Ivy" noted for unusually strong contrast of dark flecks on snowy white & ochre mosaic leaves of very strong texture. Its popularity as never wavered, as it seems the easiest to grow of the sometimes fussy highly colored cultivars.

40371 HOMALOCLADIUM PLATYCLADUM POL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 "Tapeworm Plant" if you are a kid or of the male persuasion; the lovely "Ribbon Plant" if you wish to put a more delicate feminine spin on this most popular of tropical oddities. Glossy flat-jointed stems with tiny arrow leaves and weird waxy green fls swelling from the fat sepals, then black berries; Remarkable Solomon Islands native of easy house culture. Most popular for outdoor containers as well because the very distinctive flat stems make any urn look like a post-modern floral arangement! Sometimes listed as the genus Muhlenbeckia, another group of Polygonum kin with weird waxy fruit.

55702 HOYA CARNOSA COMPACTA ASC HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 Dependable "Hindu Rope Plant" with waxy tortollini torked leaves so closely set as to obscure the succulent stems; very beautiful clusters of fragrant deep pink blossoms. Currently considered more correctly called Hoya c. 'Regalis'

62643HYLOCERUS GUATAMALENSIS CAC TGH PRICE: $ 7.75 Famous edible Guatamalan "Dragon Fruit" follows the most remarkable nocturnal intensely fragrant foot long white blossoms which emerge from the most impressively statured three winged glaucous clambering stems of this semi-epiphytic big-boned Cactus. Typically sent in dry moss--although potted ones are often mailed as well. Be warned that this is a very very big boned vine.

55616 IPOMEA BATATAS MARGARITA [CHARTREUSE] CONV HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 The "Golden Sweet Potato Vine" produces ranks of bright yellow-ochre heart shaped leaves, becoming more halbert-lobed as the plant expands & matures, even forming a fine purple rim in sun--obviously the perfect companion for 'Ace of Spades' as well as 'Blackie'; if grown during the winter in your greenhouse, will produce sparce violet blushed morning glory blossoms--more curious than decorative flowers.

67407 JATROPHA PODAGRICA EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 "Gout Plant" or "Bottle Plant" names suggest its popular appeal; but the fun name is "Tartoto" in Guatamala. Stout swollen stubby trunk (a Baobab mimic) topped with oval, peltate, lobed leaves held out like radar dishes; clusters of coral flowers. Easy, but remember that this "Guatemalan Rhubarb" needs a bit of a mid-winter rest to more easily initiate the next season's flower buds.

The Mother of Thousands (KALANCHOE) for the 2012 SEASON

Although best known & loved for its numerous "Mother of Thousands"/"Life Plant" members with plantlet proliferations, this easily grown genus offers a considerable array of foliage & flowering wonders--especially as most bloom extravagantly mid-winter when we most need color. Kids & collectors both find treasures in the bizarre asexual plantlets, in the furry Panda group or waxed or flour-dusted cookie-cutter foliage, in hooked stringbean leaves, cascading stems, or in rare and beautiful variegations (several of which have originated at the Glasshouse Works. For an emphasis on species (mostly native to Madagascar) and hybrids reliably forming plantlets on the leaf edges and/or the flower heads, please order Stock #99684 for 5 plants of various types of the birthing (actually adventitious plantlets) from the Mother of Thousands KALANCHOE COLLECTION: PROLIFERATORS at merely PRICE: $10.00.

60386 KALANCHOE DAIGREMONTIANA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.25 "Life Plant" or "Mother of Thousands" Plantlets form on the crenulated margins of the liver-green triangular fleshy leaves, spotted reddish-brown; heads of pendant pinkish midwinter blossoms gradually fade to a delicate gray-violet hue. Formerly in the genus Bryophyllum, appropriate as the Latin translates to "sprouting leaves." SW Madagascar native of easy culture if given sufficient light. This may be as common as dirt (according to one customer who obviously has lost her inner child), yet every kid loves this handsome dame. And an important postscript: For those who love their turtles--remember that little tortoises with runny noses should try this as a cure.

60394 KALANCHOE HOUGHTONII CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 2.75 Also K. poincarei, the famous "Good Luck Plant" A hybrid "Life Plant" of daigremontiana x tubiflora with tan-pink channeled slim leaves (distinctly wider and flatter than tubiflora) with purple designs and toothed margins producing many adventitious plantlets. Easy favorite with very showy rigid umbles of down turned blossoms mid-winter. Certainly the easiest "Life Plant" to grow; indeed, when happy with its environment, it will soon be stem deep in a forest of its own progeny.

61009 KALANCHOE LAETIVIRENS BIG MOMMA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 1.75 Also known at Kalanchoe HBG 73004, from Huntington Botanic Gardens originally. Upright stout short trunks support thick upturned pearly surfaced fleshy leaves (so wide as to be nearly round in outline), each heavily ringed by a margin of cute baby plantlets--every kid needs one. Perhaps the most architecturally pleasing of this category as the foliage is both very compact and very heavily laden with offspring.

60410 KALANCHOE PINNATA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.50 "Air Plant" or "Miracle Leaf" Most famous "Bryophyllum" for the notched leaves produce clinging adventitious plantlets along their margins even when wrenched from the stout stems and pinned to a curtain. (And if you remember those ads and drawings in the Sunday paper, you have dated yourself considerably.) Native to an astounding range geographically--Americas, Australia, Asia, Africa, etc.--but probably originated in Madagascar. Forms a handsome upright succulent subshrub with curious winter flowers (clusters of hanging tubular blossoms with showy inflorescence calyx streaked red); a basic houseplant from Victorian times, still in demand today by kids of all ages. And newly popular as a tropical herb with rumored various health benefits.

60427 KALANCHOE TUBIFLORA [DELAGOENSIS] CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 2.75 "Hollywood Palm" or "Chandelier Plant" Erect pinkish stems thickly hung with pendant cylindric dark leaves spotted reddish brown and emerald and tipped with notches nurturing bundles of plantlets; showy clusters of pale red bellflowers pendant mid winter from elaborate terminal inflorescence. Madagascar native. The second photo is not good, but it shows the flowers.

65827 LEDEBOURIA SOCIALIS LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 2.50 Formerly Scilla violacea. "Silver Squill" Rich purple swollen bulblets in thick clusters support small violet- backed leaves whose surfaces are dotted silver. Easy houseplant with small wands of tiny white flowers produced seasonally. If allowed to become a many-headed specimen, the winter blooms can be quite impressive en mass.

65829 LEDEBOURIA SOCIALIS GILA MONSTER LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.75 A lovely olive ovals scattered on ash blue to glaucus green leaves held in bunches over the swollen bulbs which ofset to form a perfect hemisphere. Originally shared with us by Ruth Crane, this beauty is probably a separate species not accurately identified.

47139 MIMOSA PUDICA LEGUM TGH HP PRICE: $ 8.50 This is seasonal, so it should be available from May through the middler of summer. Check this out. This is your childhood "Sensitive Plant" with upright prickly stems from which angle out pealike bipinnate leaflets which cloes up quickly upon being touched, along with the leaf stalks drooping down along the main stem. This "Humble Plant" of South tropica America eventually produces tiny pale pink stamened powder puff blossoms, given sufficient sun and nutrients. If you cannot find this locally, you can order it from us seasonally, as it is usually available during the warmer months. This is often requested for school projects, or sometimes just for fun.

30284 MONSTERA PITTERII [HORT] ARAC TGH HP PRICE: $5.25 "Swiss Cheese Vine" Oval windows in small leathery leaves; one of the most successful small vines for low light areas. To know it is to love it.

51932 MUSA DWARF CAVENDISH MUS HT CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 This attractive wide leaved, stocky statured heirloom still remains the most reliable "Fruiting Banana" for northern greenhouses or patios because it easily produces tasty fruit while grown in a container. Certainly one of the most attractive visually; even more certainly the best to start with as it seems the least demanding of this crew--especially if you would like to produce your own fruit.

40664 NEOMARICA GRACILIS IRI HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.25 "Apostle Plant" Fans of leaves with spikes of Iris blossoms of pale lilac with brown, yellow, and blue. After blooming, their supporting spikes deeply arch to touch a nearby surface (thus "Walking Iris") as new plantlets form where earlier the flowers bloomed. Central American species with delicate fragrance.

65833 ORNITHOGALUM CAUDATUM LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.00 "Sea Onion" or "German Onion" Glossy strap leaves top the ever expanding, ever more impressive opalescent green bulbs (which sit on the surface of the soil) whose sides constantly erupt to give "birth" to new bulblets (produced in clusters under each onion skin of the bulb surface), thus known everywhere as the "Pregnant Onion"; easy first plant for a child. With maturity each big round waxy bulb sends forth a thick stemmed long wand with small white lily fls striped green. Easy. Easy. Easy. Still remains the most ordered succulent bulb in this section. If you would like to grow a giant statured cousin (the one who took steriods) see Albuca crinifolia listed earlier in this website. Do not confuse with the slow-growing "Climbing Onion" Bowiea volubilis.

67357 PEDILANTHUS TITHYMALOIDES VARIEGATUS EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Variegated Devil's Backbone" Gray-green zig-zagged stems arch and bend under large puckered fleshy leaves margined in bright clear white; red bird beak/bill-shaped blossoms appear if grown in full sun in a cool (not freezing) winter greenhouse, or in a garden on the banks of the Rio Grande. Much larger statured, less self-branching than 'Smallii.'

53586 PEPEROMIA INCANA PIP HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Felted Pepperface" Fabulous succulent leaves of gray felt (or "Amazon Fuzz") on upright fur-covered stems; easily grown Brazilian tolerating low humidity as long as grown in very bright light. Interesting also as a summer patio subject.

53639 PEPEROMIA POLYBOTRYA [PERICATII] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.00 "Coin-leaf P." or "Owl Eye Plant" Stout picturesque stems hold large cupped-shield-shaped, waxed peltate leaves with a center "eye"; Andean species with racemes to one foot long covered with flowers so tiny the naked eye is defeated. Rather succulent in culture--be careful the soil is not compacted or root rot may occur.

41047 PILEA INVOLUCRATA [SPRUCEANA] URT HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.25 "Panamigra Friendship Plant" Deeply quilted and tucked oval leaves of coppery brown in tight,low clusters enjoying considerable levels of light; Easy houseplant always tempting you to pet it. Sometimes this name is incorrectly applied to P, bertertonia!

41048 PILEA MICROPHYLLA [CALLITRICHOIDES] URT HP TGH PRICE: $ 3.50 "Artillery Plant" Small, densely branched succulent upright stems arch with tiny "Fern Mimic" teardrop leaves; tiny flowers release pollen in puffs like gunsmoke, thus the common name. Easy to grow critter endlessly popular with children of all ages.

53502 PIPER AURITUM PIP PRICE: $ 17.50 "Root Beer Plant" or "False Sasparilla" Strictly a greenhouse plant with rigidly erect thick bamboo like stems supporting dramatic marvelously soft fragrant leaves. (Nonetheless, some of our customers tell us that they have grown it in a two gallon pot in their plant room.) These leaves play an important role in South American Andean cooking--a more pungent version of corn husks in Mexican cuisine. A wonderful and exotic specimen only demanding reliable warmth and reasonable levels of humidity to become a dramatic punctuation mark in your collection. We have included a photo looking up into the canopy of this handsome giant in our greenhouses. Simply too wonderful not to have.

41124 PLECTRANTHUS PROSTRATUS LAB HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Pillow Plant" or "Succulent Swedish Ivy" Profusions of tiny thick crenulate leaves form a lime-green mat--lines of purple form on leaf edges if in bright light; white flowers toned violet. Very popular as a filler in succulent wreaths and prized by designers of topicary animals as remains very low growing. Always a good choice for a prostrate carpet of fat foliage at the base of a succulent bonsai specimen.

41658 PLECTRANTHUS TURPENTINE [MARRUBIOIDES?] LAB CGH HP PRICE: $ 3.25 Pine scented scalloped furry succulent leaves on thickly furred cascading stems. Very potent "fragrance."

40868 RIVINIA HUMILIS PHY TGH HP PRICE: $4.25 "Rouge Plant" or "Blushberry" Pendant sprays of bright red shiny berries follow the spikes of starry white flowers. Always a favorite for the bright window pot; a novelity for winter greenhouse hobbyists. Newly "rediscovered" accent plant for the summer urn or windowbox. Even though this was a big hit in Victorian bedding; you can stump the experts today by introducing this red berried sweetheart into your summer plantings or combination containers. Some of the "newest" plants are the old Victorian reliables.

40904 RUSSELIA EQUISETIFORMIS [JUNCEA] SCR HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 3.75 "Coral Fountain Plant" Gracefully arching fine rush-like glossy stems bear many scarlet red tubular flowers--a living "Firecracker Factory" in constant bloom with bright light. This has nearly endless uses in garden and container designs.

51900 SARRACENIA DAINA'S DELIGHT [HYB] SAR HT CGH PRICE: $ 6.50 AVAILABLE AGAIN IN SPRING 2010 Fabulous "Purple Netted Pitcher Plant" with elegant pink capped hollow "Hunter's Horn" upright "leaves" of pink and green fantastically netted reddish purple with especially brilliant pink and red contrasts on the ruffled big hoods. Adds considerable drama to any bog; easily grown in a container if kept constantly soggy and in full sun.

40916 SCIRPUS CERNUUS [ISOLEPIS GRACILIS] CYP HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Electric Grass" or "Fountain Bullrush" Perfect miniature tufts of translucent pendant green thread leaves tipped with bright straw-white bracts not unlike a mop of fiber optics! Must have constant moisture to thrive. Equally successful as an aquatic tub subject or a tuffet in a terrarium, or a mane in moss topiary; somewhat hardy in the very deep south.

50527 SETCREASEA [TRADESCANTIA] PALLIDA [PURPUREA] COMM HP CGH PRICE: $ 3.00 "Purple Heart" Trailing succulent stems clasped by dark purple strap leaves with cobwebby hairs; violet spiderwort flowers. This is the basic.

53378 SOLANUM MAMMOSUM SOL TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 This "Titty Fruit" produces long stems with hairy foliage (much beloved by whitefly) and purple flowers followed by the remarkable nippled orange fruit. A curiosity.

11401 TECTARIA CICUTARIA [GEMMIFERA, HORT.] POL HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.50 "Button Ball Fern" Upright rhizomes with gracefully arching tripinnate fronds (triangular in overall outline) with a series on rounded button-like bulbils along the top of the central midrib. Caribbean tolerant of indoor conditions. A fern no child can resist.

40938 TOLMIEA MENZIESII VARIEGATA SAX HP CGH HH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Variegated Piggy Back Plant" Fresh green, hairy, lobed leaves with richly yellow-flecked surfaces grow plantlets on the tops of the leaf base. Likes a cool spot with good humidity. Renamed 'Taff's Gold' in England.
