Sensitive P/an L- ( ^^ »«« « ^"^*''« ) 



The Sensitive Plant is a tender annual of open branch- 

 ing growth, having finely cut foliage with numerous small, 

 round, feathery, pink flowers. It is most valued, however, 

 for its curious leaves, which close instantly even when 

 lightly touched, remaining tightly closed for some time 

 until they slowly reopen. The plant is a lover of warmth, 

 and seed should not be sown until trees are out in full leaf; 

 or thev may be grown as pot-plants from seed started in a 

 warm sunny window early in Spring. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 40c.
