HOUSE PLANTS 
Here are attractive plants, not bulbs. for the indoor 
window garden. the sun-parlor or the conservatory. Some 
of them are suitable for other uses as well, perhaps in the 
out-of-doors window box or porch box, or again as sum- 
mer fillers in rock garden or border. They are shipped 
with roots packed in damp moss, and safe arrival is guar- 
anteed during period from April 15th to November 20th 
but during the rest of the year (that is the general winter 
season), shipment is definitely at customers’ risk as to 
freezing or other loss. We shall, though, pack carefully 
and give all protection feasible.
