Strelitzia Regina 
rican herb of the Banana Family. 3 ft, hhp. 
Long leaves and Seat flowers with dark blue 
tongues and purple boat like bracts. Very odd 
and distinctly beautiful. Start the seed in moist 
sand being careful to keep covered and very 
warm so that the humidity will be high. Trans- 
plant into soil of medium fertility and after 3 
weeks replant in very fertile soil. Requires all 
the sun it can get and a large supply of water. 
Will endure some neglect but unless well cared 
for will fail to bloom. Worth all the trouble. 
2 seed 10c; 6 seed 25c.
