1 SARRACENIA or PITCHER PLANT 
The Pitcher Plants have leaves like 
oddly hooded, water-holding pitchers 
or urns, decidedly, if somewhat bi- 
zarrely, decorative. Then there are 
blossoms, rather large and quite 
showy ones. The fantastic leaves are 
actually cunningly devised insect 
traps, for the Sarracenias are carniv- 
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
