1 Hydrangeas 
These are the Hydrangeas that are so extensively grown by florists. They are 
especially adapted for pot or tub plants for indoor, porch, lawn or garden deco¬ 
ration. In some soils the flowers turn blue, and this color can be secured 
artificially by mixing one-half pound of broken alum with each one-half bushel 
of soil. These Hydrangeas are easily grown and will many times repay you for 
the little time required in caring for them. Hardy out of doors in mild climates.

One of the 
queerest and 
most fascinating 
plants known to 
man. It resem¬ 
bles the hooded 
cobra of the jun- 
g 1 e s of India, 
and is one of 
the few carniv¬ 
orous plants 
known to sci- > 
ence. 
The plant has 
no leaves, the 
stalks are 
twisted and fun¬ 
nel shape, small 
at the bottom, 
growing larger 
with a rounded 
hood at the top 
from which hang 
two crimson and 
green appendages 
which have the 
appearance of 
feelers or whis¬ 
kers, is of strik¬ 
ing aspect and beautiful in coloring. 
The top of the hood is beautifully mottled by 
white translucent areas through which the in¬ 
terior is lighted. Both hood and appendages bear 
many honey glands, the excretion from which 
tempts bugs, ants, flies, in fact all kinds of in¬ 
sects toward the mouth, an orifice on the under 
side of the hood, and are lured inside the funnel¬ 
like stem from which they can not come back, as 
the stem is lined with innumerable little hair-like 
prongs all pointing downward, and once they get 
below a few of these points they have to con¬ 
tinue on downward where the victim is absorbed 
in the digestive fluid or liquid in the bottom of 
the stem. 
The Darlingtonia is usually grown as a house 
plant, in pots of sandy soil and leaf mould. It , 
is, however, a perennial which will grow year after 
year out of doors, provided it is given a shady 
position and never allowed to become dry. They 
blossom in the spring, having beautiful purple 
flowers. 
If kept in a room free from all insects, it is 
advisable once or twice weekly to place a few 
small particles of raw beef, about the size of a 
grain of wheat, in the orifice for its nourishment; 
however, if placed where there are other plants, 
in the average room, a sufficient number of insects 
will be attracted from them, making artificial feed¬ 
ing unnecessary. 
Plants shipped prepaid, anywhere in the United 
States, at $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50.
