T SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
The odd leaves are actually water-filled 
pitchers, delicately veined with color, while 
above them are bowing flowers of decora- 
tive form. The leaf-pitchers are not mere- 
ly fantastic; they are actually cunningly 
contrived insect traps; for these plants 
are as carnivorous as we who look upon 
them. All the Sarracenias make excellent 
house plants, but they are of full winter- 
hardiness in the garden, too. When grown 
indoors, the pots should be filled with a 
mixture of sand and peat (or sand and 
leaf-mold), and kept sitting in a saucer 
of water. Grown outside, the planting 
should be in a slight depression, just a 
couple of inches below general level will 
f be enough, and when rains are far apart, 
this depression should be flooded now and then with a hose. 
They will be happiest if natural soil is removed and replaced 
with same m‘xture recommended for pots. In growing 
Sarracenias from seed, we sow outside in mixed sand and 
peat in late autumn or earliest spring, using tight contain- 
ers without drainage. FLAVA —Great, pennant-trailing 
flowers of clear lemon, 5 inches across. The ptchers are 
long hooded trumpets, buff, veined red. Illustrated on
