may not mature before frost. 
We offer only the early variety. 
It is easily grown from seed if 
planted after ground is warm. 
The calyx surrounding the 
seed pod is used for making 
jelly and jam, which is consid¬ 
ered by many to be superior to 
Guava or Currant jelly. It is 
grown extensively in Australia 
and the Famous Queensland 
jelly is shipped to all parts of 
the world. 
After the flower petals fall 
remove calyxes from seed pod. 
To four solid quarts of calyxes 
add 1 quart of cold water; boil 
until tender. Strain through 
cheese cloth, but do not 
squeeze. Measure the juice by 
the cup; measure an equal 
number of cups of sugar, which 
should be placed in the oven to 
heat. Boil the juice 20 minutes, 
add the hot sugar, boil 3 min¬ 
utes, strain once more into 
glasses. (Pkt. 10c) (oz. 50c)
