i ware Bog Onxahids 
THESE LITTLE BOG orchids offer a decided contrast in comparison with the showier kinds. As they grow naturally 
in wet meadows and swamps, they transplant very easily to a moist spot in the garden. The most satisfactory are: 
CALOPOGON PULCHELLUS (The Grass Pink Or- 
chid) : Height 1 to 114 feet. Foliage is grasslike with flow- 
ers carried in racemes. Flowers are of a beautiful violet- 
rose. An attractive subject for a cool, moist, well pro- 
tected spot. Comes into flower in late June. Extra strong, 
selected bulbs, $3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100. 
POGONIA OPHIOGLOSSOIDES (The Rose Pogonia 
or Snake Mouth): A delicate pure pink flower, slightly 
fragrant. Very interesting as pollen is not carried in 
stemmed masses, but is showered on the back of a visiting 
insect as such insects back out of the flowers. Requires a 
cool, damp, shady position. June-July flowering. Extra 
strong, selected plants, $3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100. 
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 domesti- 
cated 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 
interesting 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 mid- 
summer 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 
three feet. The blossoms are a clear yellow. This is pos- 
sibly the easiest of the pitcherplants to domesticate and is 
one of its most picturesque. Extra strong, selected plants, 
$5.25 for 10; $50.00 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 mot- 
tled beak formation. Extra strong, selected plants, $5.25 
for 10; $50.00 per 100. 
SARRACENIA PURPUREA (The Common Pitcher- 
plant) : One of the curiosities of the plant world. It is a 
low spreading plant producing pitchers on the terminal 
part of the foliage. These 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, turn- 
ing 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, $2.00 7. 10; $17.50 
per 100.
