Shoo-Fly Plant 
Shoo-Fly Plant, House — It is said 
that flies will not stay in a room 
where it is grown if they can con¬ 
veniently escape, though what there 
is about it that repulses them is not 
clear, as the plant or flower has no 
odor. Aside from this more remark¬ 
able quality it is a beautiful flower¬ 
ing plant, and blooms in a short time 
<60 days) from seed. It is particu¬ 
larly valuable as a winter bloomer, 
the blossoms being large, cup-shaped 
and of a lovely light blue color, with 
a white center. No. 1020—Pkt. 15c.

Japanese Rose Seed 
We have bushes that were grown 
from Seed that have literally 
thousands of Roses on them. They 
are Perfectly Hardy and they can 
be planted in the open- ground 
and the frost will not hurt them. 
In the open we advise for the 
first year that they be protected 
by putting a litle hay, leaves or 
litter around. They make an Ideal 
House Plant until they are about 
3 years old. Then they become 
too large for inside and should he 
placed in the open.
