2 COBRA PLANT 
DARLINGTONIA CALIFORNICA has been called Cobra 
Plant from the fantastic, serpentine appearance of the leaves, 
these twisted, hooded pitchers with translucent windows. 
Illustrated opposite. Intricate, inverted flow- 
ers of red-veined buff-brown. A carnivorous 
plant that handles very well indoors in an 
east or north window. Use sandy soil mixed 
with sphagnum or peat, and keep well- 
watered. Feed plants at considerable in- 
tervals by putting minute shreds of meat 
in the pitchers. See “Sarracenia” for cul- 
ture from seed. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c. 
(Plants, each $1.00.)

FOR BANKS AND HILLSIDES 
CORONILLA VARIA is a rather handsome, spreading 
perennial of full winter hardiness, that will keep any bank 
or slope from washing, covering it with a rich, billowing 
green-ness of pinnate foliage. In June and early July come 
crown-shaped clusters of pretty blossoms in Cosmos pink. 
Growth is swift and dense, smothering coarse weeds, and the 
quick root network prevents soil erosion from heavy rains. 
Thrives in poor, dry soils. The flowers cut and keep well.

* CORAL FLOWER 
Effects of exquisite, jewel-like daintiness. 
Even the deep green, succulent foliage is 
decorative. Many slender, 30-inch stems bear 
little five-pointed stars of luminous rosy pink, 
these in loose, alternate clusters. Then come 
airy, long-hanging capsules, like polished 
coral beads, hundreds of them on each great 
glowing plume of a stem. A single plant may 
throw 30 or more of these great, bright 
plumes. Effective over a three to four month 
period. Usually grown as a garden annual, 
but makes a good house plant, too. IJllus- 
trated opposite. The seeds are tiny. Pkt. 20c;
