pedicels, and are carried in open, almost airy, racemes.

DIONAEA or VENUS FLYTRAP 
An attractive, but oddly animal-like plant, is Dionaea 
muscipula. The leaves are carried in rosettes, the blade in 
two sections, connected only by the strong mid-rib. The 
terminal section is center-hinged and contractile, margined 
with bristles and studded with sensitive hairs and honey- 
secreting glands. When a fly, attracted by the sweet bait, 
alights on the leaf, the hairs act as triggers, and the leaf- 
halves quickly close over the insect, the edge bristles in- 
terlocking. The flowers are white, attractive, carried in 
racemes. For the bog garden south, or house culture north. 
Well suited to the damp terrarium. Needs same soil, care 
and handling from seed as Sarracenia, which see. Pkt. 25¢; 
1/16 OZ. $1.00.
