3 DIERAMA BLEND —rbkt(3)50. Bells of blush, rose-red or 
amaranth, pendant from willowy stems. /liustrated puge 2. 
An unusual garden bulb that winters outside well north if 
given good protection of straw or leaves. At Old Orchard we 
have had them survive several winters. May also be grown 
in pots in colder climates. Pkt. 20c; 1/16 oz. 35c. 
2 DIONAEA MUSCIPULA—The famed Venus Flytrap makes 
an interesting pot plant. The leaves are truly trap-like, the 
two halves center-hinged and edged with long bristles. When 
the leaves are touched, the two halves fold together until the 
bristles interlock. Attractive white flowers. For culture from 
seed, see Sarracenia. |\Pkt. 25c. (Plants, each 50c. These will 
be small as sent out, and with scarcely any roots, since Dionaea 
does not feed from the soil, but plant them so the thick com- 
pact leaf bases are firmly imbedded in a mixture of sand and 
peat, keep sand damp, and they will eventually increase to fill 
the pot.) 
1 DICTAMNUS 
Old garden favorites are these interesting perennials, plants 
of many common or folk names. Dittany they are called, or 
Fraxinella, or Burning Bush, or Gasplant, but to botanists they 
are Dictamnus albus, or varieties of it. They cut well, and few 
perennials have longer life, the plants becoming stronger and 
better each year. 36 inches. The showy, lemon-scented flow- 
ers yield in warm dusks an ignitible, flashing gas. ROSE
