Wonderful 
Weather Plant 
The Unique_Floral _Barometer 
If the leaves stand upward 
from the twig, the weather will 
be beautiful. If they stand out 
straight, changeable weather is 
expected. As the leaves droop, 
the indications range toward 
rain, when the leaves hang 
straight downward, water may 
be expected to fall in torrents. 
A local storm is indicated by 
the curling together of the 
leaves, and a fog by the bend¬ 
ing of the twigs. Seeds are of 
good size and sometimes slow 
to germinate; should be soaked 
in lukewarm water before 
planting. Pkt., 10c; Vi oz., 
24c.

tiful flowering plant, and blooms in a 
short time (60 days) from seed. It is
