8ARRACENIA purpurea. Pitcher Plant, Sidesaddle Flower. This 
handsome native of our northern bogs is one of the handsomest nnd probably 
the hardiest of Sarracenias. The leaves or pitchers are, when exposed to 
sunlight, of a handsome reddish purple, with light green spots, 2 to 6 inches 
long, clustered at the base. From among them comes the naked flower 
stalk, 6 to 18 inches high, bearing a single nodding, deep purple flower itf

8YMPLOCARPUS foetid us. Skunk Cabbage. This plant is useful on account 
of its large, green foliage, and because it grows in wet. boggy soii. The 
flower is not very showy and the plane exudes a disagreeable odor similar to 
that of the skunk. However, it is a fine bog plant. 
Besides the various Bog Plants of this section are others previously described in this catalogue 
which might be added to Bog Plants, because they not only grow well in good garden scil, but also do 
nicely in many wet situations; in fact, some are found naturally in bogs. I mention the following, for
