-SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
The leaves are hollow water-filled pitchers, strangely 
- marked, while above them on sturdy stems are bowing 
flowers of decidedly a decorativeness, but so oddly made that 
he arone can see almost anything in their form. They have been 
- eompared to watches, side-saddles, and other objects as 
) Bp civerse. One might call them a cross of Chinese Pagoda and 
an umbrella, and not be beyond the limit of their own 
_ pbizarreness. The leaf pitchers at the base are not merely 
fantastic; they are cunningly made insect traps; for this 
plant is as carnivorous as we who look upon it. All the 
_ Sarracenias make excellent house plants, thriving in a sunny 
window. ‘The pots in which they are planted should be filled 
with sandy muck, and set in a saucer of water. Not particu- 
larly difficult from seed if kept always on the moist side. 
They may be grown outside, too, in bog garden, wet meadow 
or by a poolk FLAVA—Great pendant-trailing clear lemon

catch and hold more than its share of rain.
