SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
The leaves are hollow water-filled pitchers, strangely 
marked, while above them are bowing flowers of decidedly 
a decorativeness, but oddly made. The leaf pitchers at the 
base are not merely fantastic; they are insect traps; for 
this plant is as carnivorous as we who look upon it. All 
the Sarracenias make excellent house plants. The pots in 
which they are planted should be filled with sandy muck, 
and set in a saucer of water. Not particularly difficult from 
seed if kept very cool and moist. We sow in mixed sand 
and peat moss outside in latest autumn. They may be 
grown outside, too, in bog garden, wet meadow or by a 
pool. FLAVA—Great pendant-trailing clear kemon flowers, 
five inches across. The pitchers are long, hooded trumpets, 
buff, veined red. Winter hardy without protection at

THE SUCCULENT SEDUMS 
A wall or stepping-stone planting, a flagged terrace or 
walk, would have secant charm without them; the rock 
garden needs their foil, their color, their starry blossom- 
ing. In diversifications of thick, brittle foliage, they rival 
the Cactus. Soft apple-greens, frosted fiiligreeings, blue 
with dust of silver, bronze reflections, white or purple 
variegations, tones of rose and maroon, all these paint 
their leafage. They may be filmy earth-clingers, velvety 
cushions, rampant mounders, or taller arching, fat-leafed 
stems. In blossom they run as wide a range, white, cream, 
lemon, orange, pink, rose and crimson. rkt.. Fine mix- 
ture. Pkt. 15c (3 for 40c). For other Sedums, ask for 
TREASURE CHEST.
