HOUSE PLANTS FROM SEED 
Seeds of these, of course, may be sown at any 
time of year. 
TALINUM PATENS—The foliage is thick and 
glossy, with many panicles of pretty little car¬ 
mine blossoms above. Comes into flower quickly 
from seed, and tends to be ever-blooming. Al¬ 
ways pleases. Pkt. 25c. 
STAPELIA BLEND—For an easy, but bizarre, 
house plant, try Stapelia. Thick leafless stems, 
green or purple-shaded, with flanged and jagged 
corners. Gigantic, thick-petalled flowers in star¬ 
fish form, cream or ochre, with grotesque em¬ 
bossings of brown and violet. Pkt. 25c. 
STRELITZIA REGINAE — Bird of Paradise. 
Great blue-and-gold flowers, oddly poised, like 
brilliant jungle birds. Not hard to grow if the 
large seeds are given some heat to start them. 
Each 15c; 3 for 40c; 8 for $1.00. 
AMARYLLIS PEERLESS HYBRIDS — Seeds 
saved only from giant-flowered plants. Should 
give blooms of marvelous diversity of colorings 
and markings. Autumn, by the way, is about 
best season of year to sow Amaryllis seed. 15 
seeds for 25c; 50 seeds for 75c; 100 seeds, $1.40. 
AMARYLLIS WHITE MONARCH—The rarest 
and most desired of all Amaryllis varieties is 
that with gaint flowers of pure enamel whiteness. 
This seed has been saved from such. Neverthe¬ 
less some seedlings will show roseate stainings, 
or other variations. Many, though, should come 
true. 5 seeds for 20c; 11 seeds for 40c. 
ALOE BLEND—Most decorative succulent pot 
plants of rugged habit and easy culture. Highly 
recommended. Many fine kinds in mixture. 
Pkt. 20c. 
TRUE POINSETTIA — Euphorbia pulcherrima. 
A gorgeous thing when in full glory of its vivid 
live-coal flower-bracts. 10 seeds for 25c; 50 
seeds, $1.00. 
PELARGONIUM FANCY HYBRIDS—The Lady 
Washington Geranium. Large flowers of white, 
red or rose, always with dark velvety blotch. 
Pkt. 25c. 
CACTUS ORNAMENTAL BLEND—Particularly 
selected for pot culture. Weird and curious stem 
formations, with richly hued and varied feathery 
flowers, followed by “jewel” fruits. Wonderfully 
diverse blend. 35 seeds for 25c; 100 for 60c. 
CLERODENDRON FALLAX—Great panicles of 
brilliant, airily formed blossoms the year around. 
Fairly easy to handle, and showily ornamental 
always. It deserves any praise. Pkt. 15c. 
OFFER 26A5—One pkt. each of above for $2.00. 
HOUSE PLANT SURPRISE 
Here you are due for delightful amazement. Seeds of 
very many different house plants in one great mixture, some 
of them decidedly unique. Better separate the fine seeds 
from the coarse, since the latter will need deeper covering. 
Give them all a fair chance and ample time. Sold only in 
extra-size packets at 25c each.

sown in open-ground beds in late fall or early winter are
