 ular bell-shaped flowers, pendulous from a number of 

 the upper leaf-axils, the segments with pointed nectaries 

 at the base. Perianth gamophyllous, urceolate: seg- 

 ments deltoid or lanceolate: stamens 6; filaments fili- 

 form; anthers linear-oblong, ovary 3-loculed. Glass-

SANGUINARIA (Latin, blood: referring to the yel- 

 lowish red juice of the plant). Pupai-erAceie. Blood- 

 root. A single species common in woods of eastern 

 North America. Eootstock several inches long, about 

 K in. thick, horizontal: lvs. radical, cordate or reniforni, 

 usually only 1 from each root bud, on petioles about 

 8 in. long: fls. white, often tinged with pink, 1-3 in. 

 across, mostly solitary, on scapes about 8 in. long, ap- 

 pearing just preceding the full grown leaves; sepals 2, 

 fugacious ; petals 8-12, in 2 or 3 rows, oblong or obovate, 

 early deciduous: capsule 1 in. long, oblong, 2-valved. 



The Bloodroot is a showy spring flower usually found 

 in woodland, but not a true shade-loving plant, since its 

 growth is, to a great extent, made before the foliage of 

 the trees expands. In cultivation it prefers a rather 

 light soil, but will grow anywhere. It will do as well in 

 sunlight as in shade and will even grow amongst grass. 

 If care be taken not to mow down the leaves until it 

 has perfected the root growth and buds for the follow- 

 ing season. The roots are best transplanted after the 

 leaves have ripened, until the autumn root growth com- 

 mences, but they may be moved when the plants are in 



flower. The roots are offered at such low prices by col- 

 lectors that the plant should be used to a much greater 

 extent fur spiiui; gardening.
