THE RESEIIHECTION PLANT. 
(Lycopodium Lepidopliyllum.) 
This is a very interesting curiosity from the mountains of 
Mexico. The plant in a dry state appears as if entirely dead, look- 
ing like a ball of dried leaves; hut when immersed in water for a 
few hours, it returns to life, the plant expanding to a large size, the 
dried and shrivelled leaves changing from their brown, dead con- 
dition, to a lively, beautiful green color, making a very pretty 
house-plant for the winter. 
When its novelty has passed, it may be thrown aside and its 
death and “ resurrection ” rejieated at pleasure. We have heard of 
its “Evergreen” beauty having been restored after remaining dry 
for fifteen years. 
Mailed on receipt of the price. 50 cents each ; $5 per dozen.
