Germination of crinum moorei seed 
FUN FOR THE SHUT-I 
e seed of Crinum moorei is large, and 
looks more like a fruit than a seed. You 
can watch nature at work by simply set- 
ting the seed where it can be watched and 
see how it develops. It will first sprout a 
bulb, then roots and then the leaves from 
the bulb. After this, the seed will shrivel 
and disappear, the roots and leaves will 
die down leaving a bulb in dormant state 
which can now be planted in soil and it 
will start to grow again. The price is 25c 
per seed plus postage. Where can you have 
more fun for a quarter? Why not have us 
mail several seeds to your invalid friend? 
Delivery September to December.
