Colocasia Multifolia, (Ja ])anese AVater Taro). We recommend this to 

 our customers as one of the most interesting 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 grown in water, 

 it produces jio 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 sj)ring, 

 abaut April or jNIay when the young shoots begin to sprout, take a knife 

 and cut off ab^ut J of the bottom part of tubers flat, so as not to allow 

 the stems to grow too l^ng in the dish ; without doing so, the stems 

 grow too tall for pot culture. Asa garden plant it is very ornamental 

 attaining the height of from 4 to 5 feet when it is fully grown in the 

 open ground, with cpiite a number of stems growing from single tuber 

 Nvhich is edible when boiled like a potato (see plioto ])ago 9)
