; Resurrection plant. Lycopodium (Selaginella) Lepidophyllum. A 
rounded ball of tightly coiled up leaves, dry and apparently dead, will live 
for hundreds of years without being planted or watered. Put into a shallow 
bowl o.f water, the fronds will slowly unfold outward until in short time the 
whole plant has resurrected, flattened out into a lovely rosette of beautiful, 
velvet green, fern-like moss. It will grow nicely in a moist, shady place in 
sandy soil, and can be resurrected at will, time and again, by being allowed 
to curl up and become dry each time, aftef having been fully opened out by 
supply of water. Very odd and marvelo-us. Ten cents each, three for twenty- 
five cents. 
Roses in varieties, two-year-old plants, in spring only, each twenty- 
five cents.
