ly poised as if for a moment’s hesitant rest; a brilliant 
Jungle Bird above the broad banana foliage. Not hard to

below. This may be given by putting over, but not in 
contact with, a radiator, or a lighted electric light 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 above. 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; 8 for 70c.
