Place your avocado seed pointed
end up in glass of water. Use a |
glass that is small enough at the
bottom to keep the seed 2 or 81
inches of the bottom of the glass.
Keep water an inch below top of
seed by adding water as necessary
during the termination. 1t will take
several weeks for roots and a TOP
Sprout to apear. Keep glass on win
dow sill. Once in a while, 1 lift
seed little if the glass holds it too
tightly together, to allow it to split
for the sprout.
After it has or inch sprout

good earth with sprout out and the
seed entirely covered with earth.

have very pretty plant. If YOU
have any questions, call CHI. 5183.
