Flowers for the House 
Flowering plants in the home should not be considered a luxury, and nothing has a more cheery, brightening influence 
than plant life and their beauty of bloom. All plants described on this page can be grown from seed, which is an 
opportunity to have a good collection of house plants at minimum cost. For Winter blooming the seeds should be sown 
any time during Spring or Summer in the house, or under glass. Leaflet “Growing House Plants from Seed” Free.
