* 1 SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
Odd leaves that are really water- 
filled pitchers, elaborately veined 
with color. Above them bow flowers, 
usually richly tinted and in decor- 
ative form. The fantastic leaf- 
pitchers are actually cunningly de- 
vised insect traps, for the Sarra- 
cenias are as carnivorous as we who 
look upon them. All the Sarracenias 
make excellent pot plants, but Flava 
and Purpurea, at least, are of full 
winter garden hardiness.s When 
grown indoors the pots should be 
filled with a mixture of sand with 
peat moss or leaf-mold; always kept 
well watered. Grown outside, the 
planting should be in a slight de- 
pression, two inches woud be plenty, 
and when rains are too far apart, 
the depression should be filled with 
water from time to time. They will 
be happiest if natural soil is removed, 
and the space filled with the same 
mixture recommended for pots. In 
growing from seed, sow outside in 
late autumn or earliest spring, using 
tight containers without drainage, 
filled with sand, and peat or fine 
sphagnum. FLAVA—Great, pennant 
trailing flowers of clear lemon, 5 
inches across. The pitchers are long, 
hooded trumpets, buff, veined red. Illustrated above. Pkt. 
25c. (Plants, each 70c; 3 for $2.00. Pitchers usually shriv- 
eled and damaged, unavoidable in shipping this plant, but 
new ones will quickly grow. Remember, it has scant roots 
by nature). PURPUREA—Wider pitchers deeply veined and 
shadowed red. Nodding flowers, madder purple to maroon. 
Pkt. 20c; 1/32 oz. 35c. MINOR—Evergreen, white-spotted 
trumpets, with tawny flowers. Pkt. 25c. RUBRA—Slender,
