PLANTS FOR THE SUNNY WINDOW 
Why not grow your own house plants from 
seed ? There is nothing very hard about it, and 
if you really love flowers you will be interested 
in watching them, from the moment the first 
sprout breaks through until they are ready to 
burst into bloom. And then, if there are more 
than you need, there can surely be no more gra¬ 
cious gift for your friends. The seeds, of course, 
may be sown at any time of year, simply in pots 
in a sunny window, or, if you are fortunate, in 
your conservatory.

dor. 10 seeds for 25c; 45 seeds for $1.00.
