THE OOLOGIST. 



-THE- 



Resurrection Plant 



ONE OF THE 



GREATEST CURIOSITIES 



OF THE AGE. 



This singular pl.-ait is really one of the worders of 

 creation. Imagine a bunch of withered looking, 

 ■curled up shoots, brown, stiff, and apparently dead, 

 resembling a bird's nest. Place it in water, in half an 

 "hour what a transformation ! The withered looking 

 bunch has now opened and is transformed into a 

 lovely patch of green moss entire y covering an . 

 ordinary plate. In its native habitat, when the dry 

 season sets in, the plant curls up into a round ball and 

 is wafted away by winds from place to place, some- 

 times for hundreds of miles, when at last it reaches a 

 moist spot it gradually unfolds itself, m.akes new roots 

 and thrives in its new found home. 



IDirections — Place the dry plant in water entirely 

 covered for two hours, then take out an.l put in 

 shallow dish with only roots in water; after remaining 

 in water for a few days, allow the plant to dry up 

 .again, then perform the operation as beiore. The 

 plant will never die, and wdl open and shut as often 

 as placed in and taken out of water. 



The plant must be see i to be appreciated, and 

 -knowing that where we sell one of these plants we 

 are almost certain of selling several more, we offer 

 them at the following very low prices, viz : i plant, 

 post-paid, for only 15 cents; 2 plants for 25 cents; 

 10 for $1.00, or 25 for $2.25; or better still, we will send 

 you one of these plants and the Oolgist for 1887, for 

 ■only 28 cents,

"THE AUK " will present, as heretofore, timely 

 and interesting papers on the subject t ■ which it re- 

 lates, and its readers may feel sure of beihg kept 

 abreast of the advances in the science. " THE 

 AUK " is primarily intended as a communication be- 

 tween Ornithologists. While necessarily to some de- 

 gree technical, it contains a fair proportion of matter 

 of a popular character. Its notices of recent litera- 

 ture cover the whole field of North American Ornith- 

 ology, and with the departments of "General Notes"^' 

 and "Notes and News" render the journal indispen- 

 sable to those wishing the latest and fullest intelli- 

 gence of the subject.
