Edward (Ulletf, Southwick, Mass.—Bog Garden 
5(5 
A colony of Cypripedium spectabile (see page 61) 
flies when they alight on the modifieci leaf forms. Cypripediums, when seen growing as in 
the cut shown above are a thing of great beauty. The Droseras and Sarracenias are 
plants which are very attractive to the lover of plant curiosities. Any one who has a wet 
spot can have one of these gardens containing such plants. When planting such 
plants, it is well to cover the ground with Sphagnum moss — just a thin covering. 
This will protect the foliage from mud spattering on the leaves during a hard shower. 
It will also prevent too rapid evaporation of moisture.
