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. Seeds of more 
than one hundred distinct species suitable for pot culture, 
have gone into this blend. Many will germinate quickly, 
but of course other kinds are naturally slow. Sold only in 
extra-size packets, at 25c each.
