2 AN EASY EXOTIC 
It is CARICA PAPAYA, and in the North it may be grown 
as an easy, large pot plant, for it comes on quickly from seed. 
The plants are as decorative, as tropical in suggestion as a 
Palm, the habit of the plant, and the deeply cut, somewhat 
frond-like leaves aiding the decorative Palm illusion. Well- 
grown plants bear the melon-shaped papaya fruits the second 
year, these edible, highly esteemed for the table. Few exotics 
so curious, and ornamental, can be grown with such slight fuss 
and care. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 70c.
