The Pitcher Plants have leaves like

blossoms, rather large and quite 
showy ones. The fantastic leaves are 
actually cunningly devised insect 
traps, for the Sarracenias are carnive 
orous plants. All species offered are 
winter-hardy in the garden. They like 
a soil containing some peat admixture, 
with sandy loam, and should be 
watered in drought. They are quite 
generally grown also as pot plants, 
because of their decorative form, 
highly attractive flowers, and interest- 
ing habit. Seeds grow quite surely if 
planting be kept moist, “kt? culture 
advised, though success has been re- 
ported in seed germination under 
glass. RUBRA—Erect, purple-veined
