Wonderful Resurrection or live forever Plant 



-f (Selaginella Lepidophylla ) 



When immersed in water it unfolds outward, very slowly at first, then faster as the 

 moisture permeates the plant. In a short time, in fact' while you are looking at it. from 

 a dry and withered ball, seemingly dead, the whole plant has resurrected, come to life, 

 flattened out into a plate-like shape and transformed into a lovely rosette of beautiful green, 

 velvety moss. Price 20c. each, 3 for 50c. W. L. CURTIS, Wycombe, Pa. Box ip.
