Planting A Garden

_5 to 30 or more players._

_House party._

Each player is provided with a sheet of paper and a pencil. The game
consists in one player writing down something that he has planted and
the next player stating what came up. Anything may be planted, though
the questioner must have in mind something that could come up from
what he writes. He must sign his initials. The names of the plants
that come up must bear some direct relation, punning or otherwise, to
the things planted.

For example, a player writes, "I planted a kitten; what came up?" The
paper is handed to the next player, who writes, "Pussy willows."

After the questions are written, the papers are collected and
redistributed, and each writes an answer to the question he has drawn.
They are then collected again, and the hostess reads the questions and
answers. Any question not answered must be replied to by the player
who wrote it. Examples follow
