cat-tails SARRACENIAS 
A conspicuous and highly interesting 
class of insectivorous plants, of great value in landscape work 
and for bog gardens. As pot-plants, they are easily grown, 
and are so striking in color and structure of leaf and flower and 
curious in their habit of catching insects as to fill the observer 
with wonder. They thrive in bogs or planted in sphagnum 
moss and peat. We have seen acres of the beautiful S. flava 
and 
Chrysamphora caUfornica
