 cum var,, but of a taller and more branching habit. The leaves are marked to one-half 

 their depth with golden yellow. An interesting plant at all seasons.

DIONEA MUSCIPULA. (Venus' Fly Trap.. 



A very interesting plant, a native of most of the Southern States. It takes its name 

 of " Fly Trap" from a curious formation of the leaves, which are very sensitive. As soon 

 as an insect touches them they close, and remain so as long as the insect continues to 

 struggle. It is easily cultivated in a warm, moist atmosphere, such as a Wardian Case 

 or Jardiniere. Price 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen.
