FIGS FOR THE NORTH 
And, of course, for the south as well. But up north not 
everybody realizes that the Fig is hardy and adjustable enough 
so that it can be grown there, too. We offer seeds saved from 
selected varieties of highest dessert quality. Fig seeds start 
quite readily if sown under glass. Fig trees planted directly in 
the open ground often bear well in New Jersey, southeastern 
Pennsylvania and around New York City if given sheltered 
position. In colder areas they may be grown in tubs. The edible 
Fig is Ficus carica. Can supply seeds saved from Black Mis- 
sion, White Kadota, or the two in mixture, at 25c the pkt., 
3 pkts. for 70c.

tive pot plant. Known as the RUBBER PLANT. Shining

An attempt to set phases of one’s life off into separated 
airtight compartments can end only in a bitter futility. 
A whole, sound life is as necessary as a whole, sound 
body. If your work be not part of your real living, then 
you are only partly living.
