The satisfaction derived from the cultivation of house plants is not alone in seeing them in bloom. 
There is joy in seeing them grow and develop day by day, and the one who starts a plant from seed and rears 
it up to bloom gets all the pleasure there is in plant culture. Geraniums, Carnations, Chrysanthemums , 
Begonias, Heliotropes, etc., are easily grown from seed, and it is really fascinating to raise them in this 
way, watching each plant as it unfolds its bloom, noting its form, color and other characteristics, and when 
occasionally we discover an immensely fine one, much superior to any we have ever before seen or heard of, 
the highest pleasure and satisfaction possible to get from plants and Bowers is ours. It is from seed that all 
fine new varieties of house plants are produced, and it is nothing for a seedling Chrysanthemum or Carnation 
to be worth more than a thousand dollars. Our strains of all these seed are much finer than are usually sold. 
(5ir*eparia. 
A wondrously beautiful greenhouse or window plant, and not 
at all hard to grow. Seeds germinate quickly and 
easily, and young plants grow off without any trouble. 
Keep in a shady place over summer and remove to 
house in fall. Use insecticides to keep free from aphis, 
and as flower buds show give good light. A beautiful 
plant, the large, luxuriant leaves surmounted in late 
winter and spring by immense panicles of magnificent 
large flowers of the most brilliant colors. Nothing 
could be more effective.in the window; in fact.no 
flower is more showy or effective, and the flowers last 
in full glory for two to three months. Colors exceed¬ 
ingly rich and velvety, ranging from crimson-black 
to pure white, through all the shades of crimsons and 
bhies, frequently with large white 
centers or exquisite border’s. .

next winter. Each plant bears hundreds of pocket-like flowers,
