<^olocasia luultifolia, (Japanese Water Taro). We recommend tliis f) 

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

 By placini^ 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 no flower but great clusters of dark purj^le 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 iMay when the young shoots begin to sprout, take a knife 

 and cut off about ^ 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 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 when boiled like a potato (see pboto page 9)"
