yarracenia flava (see page 58) 
417 DIONjEA muscipula (Venus Fly-Trap). A most won¬ 
derful plant. The flowers are small, white and quite 
pretty, 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 are 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 damp moss or bog. 15 cts. 
each. SI.25 per doz. 
HABENARIA ciliaris. See Orchids. 
H. blephariglottis. See Orchids. 
418 HELONIAS buUata (Stud-flower). A rare perennial, 
found in wet places southward with a few large, smooth 
leaves at the base. Flower-stalks 1 to 2 feet, with 
raceme of beautiful pink or purple flowers. Plant in 
a wet place or bog. 25 cts. each. 
419 IRIS Pseudacorus (Yellow Iris). Quite large, bright 
yellow flowers on stems 2 feet high. 20 cts. each. 
S2.00 per doz.; seeds, 5 cts. 
420 JUNCUS efifusus (Bog Rush). Stem round, dark green, 
2 to 4 feet high, bearing near the top a cluster of small, 
inconspicuous flowers. Quite desirable for wet, marshy 
places, where it soon establishes itself, forming good 
clumps. 10 cts. each, SI.00 per doz. 
LOBELIA cardinalis. See Hardy Perennials. 
421 MENYANTHES trifoliata (Buck Bean). A pretty little 
bog plant, growing in moss. Has large, pure white
