CHOICE WINDOW-GARDEN SEEDS 
There is a lot of pleasure as well as economy in growing pot plants from seeds, and 
the plants are more appreciated than if bought from some grower. I would, therefore, urge my friends to 
order a liberal supply of the choice seeds I offer. I especially recommend Begonia, Calceoloria, Cineraria, 
Cyclamen, Heliotrope, Lantana, Pelargonium, and Primrose.
