The Cannibals 
OF THE BOGS 
Possibly the most interesting of our native plants. They are the meat eaters of the plant world and are easily domesticated 
in the moist, cool, shady or semi-shady position in the garden or home woodland. We offer here only those that are most easily 
grown. 
DIONAE MUSCIPULA (The Venus Flytrap). A most inter- 
esting plant. The leaves are open with rows of stiff hair along 
the edges. These leaves will close up if an insect crosses them 
a second time. They will not open again until the body of the 
insect has become completely absorbed. The Venus Flytrap 
should be protected by a mulch of leaves during the winter. 
It flowers in midsummer and carries a white blossom on a six- 
inch stalk. Extra strong, selected plants, $7.75 for 10; $75.00 
per 100. 
SARRACENIA FLAVA (The Trumpet Pitcher Plant). Differs 
from above in the length of the pitchers which are green, shaped 
like a trumpet and reach a height of 3 feet. The blossoms are a 
clear yellow. This is possibly the easiest of the Pitcher-Plants 
to domesticate and is one of the most picturesque. Extra strong, 
selected plants, $6.75 for 10; $65.00 per 100. 
SARRACENIA MINOR (The Hooded Pitcher Plant). The end 
of the leaf is tipped over and downward like the beak of a 
bird of prey, giving the plant a vicious appearance. Blossoms 
are yellow and grow to a height of 8 inches. A very beautiful 
plant on account of its mottled beak formation. Extra strong, 
selected plants, $7.75 for 10; $75.00 per 100. 
SARRACENIA PURPUREA (Pitcher Plant). One of the curi- 
osities of the plant world. It isa low spreading plant producing 
pitchers on the terminal part of the foliage. Three pitchers are 
partly filled with liquid which attracts various insects such as 
flies and spiders. When such insects fall in the pitchers, they 
are dissolved by the action of the fluid and absorbed by the — 
plant as food. These pitchers are green in the shade, turning 
reddish in the sun. They remain green all winter, dying away 
in spring when new pitchers are produced. The blossoms are 
curious, reddish brown, and are borne singly on 10- to 12-inch 
stems. They flower during June-July. Extra strong, selected 
plants, $5.25 for 10; $50.00 per 100.
