Thank the person who has given flower plants to you and they will not grow. The person who accepts the gift of a fern will never settle down in life. The sign of the Waterman is a bad time to plant flowers. To have sunflowers growing in your back yard will cause you good luck. To raise beautiful ferns, sprinkle them with the water in which you have washed your clothes after your monthly sickness.
Tuberoses bloom only once in seven years.
Unless pansies are planted exactly two inches below the surface of the ground they will not grow. When watering your flowers, use the water in which you have washed your meat and they will grow well. When you blow against a dandelion seed-ball, the direction in which the seeds fly will show you where to seek your fortune. Write your troubles on a piece of paper and conceal it in a bouquet, attend a funeral and throw the bouquet containing the note into the open grave and your troubles will pass away. You can have large and beautiful flowers by planting them in the light of the moon.
