HOUSE PLANTS FROM SEED 
Potted plants are always attractive in the home. They are lovely on the porch or in window boxes during the summer, and 
particularly desirable indoors during the winter months. All seeds offered here are easily grown into plants in a living room 
window, greenhouse or conservatory, where light and heat conditions are satisfactory. Seeds may be sown any time of the
