Thanksgiving If you have tried many kinds of house plants and nd you can't grow any of them successfully, you have certainly missed the Aspidis- tra. This is the easiest plant in the world to grow. Few people know the plant by its odd name, but everyone knows it by sight. It is called the Jron Plant. Perhaps if I try to describe it you will recog- L KIIZU lb. Always in a large ower pot it c is simply a group of slender daring green leaves rising straight up out 1 of the earth. It is a stemless plant, its leaves sprouting directly from a I tuberous root like the Iris. The 1 leaves are characterized by having I parellel veins which run their whole 1 length. The leaf is usually twelve ' to sixteen inches in length, about a two or more inches in width, point-11 ed at the end, and borne on a : slender tube-shaped stem or reed. Each of these leaves, remember, 2 ascends directly from the soil and`, not from any stem or trunk. The leaf, 9. dark green, sometimes var- iegated with a cream stripe, is sim- ilar to a thin sheet of glazed lea ther. Can you rescognize it now? You have often seen it in hotels, restaurants and libraries. The As- pidistra can stand more abuse than any other plant and asks only a poor dry soil in 'which to grow. Feed dand fertilizers are things dis- tasteful to it. ,-,L:__,L:_._ ...I3..._.. Ln.-unto Liihclul MU Alan I u It has a distinctive foliage beauty c: all its own. If you introduce an ti Aspidistra plant to your interior de- b corating it is simply like adding aib piece of furniture or some other in permanent xture, because it will just stay there before your windowln it seems forever, tolerating neglect,a abuse and all else, never once de- v manding attention. Now if you've t had hard luck with house plants,v here is a splendid one for you. You` just can t go wrong` with it.
