COLOCASIA M ULTIFOLIA. 



Colocasia MliltifoUa, (Japanese Water 

 laro\ We recommend this to our 

 customers as one of the most in- 

 teresting table decoration plants. By 

 placing the tuber in a shallow dish 

 with a little water and gravel at the 

 bottom, the same way as the Chinese 

 sacred lily is grown in water, it pro- 

 duces no flower but great clusters 

 of dark purple coloured stems with 

 rich green leaves, almost as pretty as 

 flowers, keeping the same appearance 

 of beautiful growth nearly all through 

 summer. In spring, about April or 

 May when the young shoots begin 

 to sprout, take a knife and cut off 

 about 4 of the bottom part of tubers 

 flat, so as not to allow the stems to 

 grow too long in the dish ; without 

 doing so, the stems grow too tall for 

 pot culture. As a garden plant it is 

 very ornamental attaining to the 

 height of from 4 to 5 feet when it 

 is fully grown in the open ground, 

 with quite a number of stems 

 growing from single tuber which is 

 edible whei) boiled like a potato— 

 per 10, .80c; per 100, |6.oo.
