Edward Gillett, Southwicl^y Mass, — Eog Garden 
DI0Ni5:Amuscipula (Venus’ Fly-Trap). 
A most wonderful plant. The 
dowers are small, white and quite 
jjretty, but the wonder is centered 
in the hairy-edged. roundish 
leaves, which are so sensitive that 
they quickly close if touched on 
the inside. Insects arc quite often 
caught and closely held until they 
die. when the leaf-trap again 
opens and is ready for more 
game. It is easily grown in wet 
or very damp sand, either in pots 
or in the open ground, in damj) 
moss or bog. lo cts. each, 81.25
