1 SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
Odd leaves that are really water- 
filled pitchers, elaborately veined with 
color. Above bow flowers, richly tinted 
and in decorative form. The fantastic 
leaves are actually cunningly devised 
insect traps. The Sarracenias offered 
here are both fully winter-hardy in 
the garden, but because of their in- 
teresting decorative form they are also 
often grown as indoor pot plants, 
handled in a mixture of sand with 
peat or leaf mold, kept well watered. 
Grown outside, they do best in the 
same soil mixture, and may be set in 
a slight depression to catch more than 
their share of rain. Water in drought. 
In growing from seed, sow outside in 
late autumn or earliest spring, using 
containers without drainage provision, 
sowing on a mixture of sand and fine 
peat or sphagnum, covering lightly. 
Keep cool and damp. FLAVA —
