you good folks? "August Special People." I may not hear from you very often, “but it 
happens every August. Can't really blame you, though, being a bargain hunter myself.

If you've never flasked seed, why not try it now, when you can buy five such grand 
hybrid crosses so inexpensively? It's much easier than you think! 
Or, how about ORCHID BABIES IN THEIR FIRST SHOES? If you have no greenhouse, grow 
them in your kitchen window, in an aquarium (minus fish, of course), Ask for instruc- 
tions to accompany your dozen "Babies", 
If you've resisted STRAP LEAF VANDAS all this time, SPECIAL NUMBER THREE is for yous

Established back Divisions of "Amnesia Victims" complete the choices offered at these 
AUGUST SPECIAL prices. Take your pick.
