pot 
STRELITZIA or BIRD OF PARADISE 
STRELITZIA REGINAE—Great blue and gold flowers, oddly 
poised as if for a moment’s hesitant rest; a brilliant Jungle 
Bird above the broad banana foliage. Not hard to grow 
from seed, if one will have a bit of patience. The seeds 
need some extra heat to start them, preferably from below. 
This may be given by putting over, but not in contact with, 
a radiator, or a lighted electric bulb may be covered by an 
inverted pan, and the pot in which seed is sown, placed 
above. Watch soil moisture; neither powdery dryness nor 
sogginess. After they once get a start, the plants are of easy 
culture, tolerant even of neglect. Illustrated page 37. Large 
oddly crested seeds. 3 for 40c; 8 for $1.00; 25 for $2.25.

HOUSE PLANT SURPRISE 
Delightful amazement due you here. Seeds of more than 
one hundred distinct species of ornamentals suitable for pot 
culture have gone into this blend, many 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. Many will germinate quickly, but 
of course other kinds are by their nature, slow. Sold only 
in extra-size packets at 25c each; 3 for 70c.
