PLANT... 



{See Cut.) 



This beautiful plant has, during the 

 last two years, created a great sensa- 

 tion throughout the world, "it is said 

 that the leaves, by changing their posi- 

 tion, foretell the state of the weather 

 two days in advance, and extensive ex- 

 periments, by order of the Prince of 

 Wales, sometime since. proves thatit is in 

 truth prophetic. Other tests and ex- 

 periments have not been so successful, 

 and it is yet an open question as to its 

 meritsiu this respect. It is at least a 

 graceful vine with lovely foliage and 

 flowers. My cut shows the position the 

 leaves are supposed to assume in fore- 

 telling the weather. If the leaves stand 

 upward from the twig, making with 

 each other an angle of 45 degrees, the 

 sky will be cloudless and the weather beautiful in all respects. If 

 they stand out straight, changeable weather is indicated. As the 

 leaves droop below the twig the indications range toward rain, 

 until, when the leaves hang straight downward, water may be ex- 

 pected to fall almost in torrents. A local storm is indicated by a 

 curling together of the leaves, and a fog by a bending of the twigs. 

 The seeds are of good size, and sometimes slow to germinate. 

 Should be soaked in lukewarm water a short .time before planting. 

 Don't fail to give this wonderful plant a trial. Fresh seed, pkt. 10c.
