If a. leaf he broken off and pinned by the stem to the wall of n warm room each of the an lea between the curves of the leaf margin soon throws out a number of very white tentacles or roots and soon a tiny new plant begins to sprout, and In the course of a week or two attains a height of two or three Inchcp. When the old leaf shrivels the new plant Is cut off nnd planted. When earefuly cultivated the life plant pro duces curious red and yellow blos soms. While the plant Is native only In a warm country, there Is no doubt that it could be successfully grown In any greenhouse, and as a plant freak It certainly Is as In "resting ns the everlasting plant of Mexico.
