orange and blue that stick their heads above the tropical looking 
foliage is perhaps excelled by the beauty of its seeds. Whether you 
sow these little gems or not you will never forget seeing the seeds 
—about the size of a pea, jet black with a dull polish crowned 
with a gorgeous plume of bright orange. You can delight your 
friends with them or sow in a good rich soil. Seedlings should

you like because the more you pick the longer and better they 
bloom. Mixed colors. Pkt. 50c.

ful aspect to the beds. Separate colors: Apricot, Blue, Yellow,
