FUCHSIA 
1865 Ladies Ear Drops of Grandmother's

from seed—and the beginning of a profitable 
hobby too! You'll never know till they bloom 
what charming combination you'll get—and

PASSION VINE 
Passiflora coerulea 
2890 Many have been successful with this 
celebrated climber as a house or porch 
plant. Cool growing conditions suit them 
best. The blossom structure is intricate and 
fascinating and the symbolical legend sur- 
rounding the bloom is intriguing enough to 
warrant trying it in your own garden.

white contrasting petals! Try this!

SHOOC-FLY PLANT

but we'll always grow this plant for its 
lovely upturned azure-blue blooms and the 
curlous orange-red fruit. Pkt: 15c.. 3 pkts. 35c. 
AFRICAN VIOLET 
4145 America’s Number One house plant— 
and really quite easy to raise from seed. We 
have secured seed from a choice collection 
of named varieties—various shades of blue 
will predominate in the seedlings—but since 
new varieties come from seedlings it is easily 
possible that some of the hybrids raised from 
this blend could be worthy of naming and 
introducing. Whatever the results, we quar- 
antee that you'll have many hours of pleas- 
ant anticipation. Pkt. 75c., 3 pkts. $1.75
