Obviously, other words or symbols, and the like, for specific observances could be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention.Ħ. While these etched words and symbols may include anything from an age, for a birthday greeting, to company logos, to encouraging words such as, for example, courage, dream, hope, love, peace, trust. Unlike a greeting card which conveys an uplifting message with a very short term effect, each new day depicts a growth of the sentiment with the growth of the seedling. This germination period typically lasts for several weeks and may span more than a month. 4, even when the seedling 26″ sprouts leaves, the encouraging message remains visible. 3, a more mature seedling 26′ still has the encouraging word visible and, in FIG. 1, a seedling 26 is just sprouting from the soil 11. This etching effectively brands the seed such that as it germinates, the etched feature remains visible. The novelty item comprises a non-germinated dicot seed such as a bean seed, with an encouraging word, symbol, or the like, etched through the seed cover 22 into the seed's cotyledon 24. The present invention is directed to a novelty item shown in FIGS.
