particularly desirable indoors during the winter months. All seeds offered here are easily grown into plants in a living room 
window, greenhouse or conservatory, where light and heat conditions are satisfactory. Seeds may be sown any time of the 
year in pans or shallow boxes. Full directions for planting on every packet. Leaflets, “Suggestions on Seed Sowing” and
