Colocasia Miiltifolia, (Japanese Water T aro). Wo recommend tlils (o 

 our customers as one of the most interesting table decoration plants. 

 By placing the tuber in a shallow disli with a little Avater and gravel 

 at the bottom, the same way as the Cliinese sacred lily giown in 

 water, it products no flower but great clusters of dark pui ple coloured 

 stems with rich green leaves, almost as ])retty as flowers, keeping the 

 same appearance of beautiful growth nearly all through summer. 

 In spring, about April or May when the young shoots 'negin to sprout, 

 take a knife and cut ofl' about ^ of tlie bottom part of tubers flat, so 

 as not to allow the steams to grow too long in the ilish ; w Ithout 

 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 inimber 

 of stems growing from single tuber which is edible when boiled like 

 a potato (see photo page 10) 80c. $6.00.
