A FAsT-GRow1NG PLANT.

Capt. S. R. Vaughn, of Philadelphia
has a plant that grows at the rate of
Zine inches every twenty -four hours. This
remarkable bit of vegetation is called
the snake lily" and came from Cochin
China. When it arrived i'll America it
was simply an ugly-looking bulb, re-
sembling huge Indian turnip. 1t lay
nearly all winter in a dark closet, but
With the approach of spring began to
manifest signs of life. 1t was taken from
its resting place and put in a peach bas-
ket, with nothing about it but some
newspapers. Very soon a mottled green
stalk pushed out of the bulb, and in Il
few days had reached a height of eight
feet. Of this height the blossom, which
was beautiful dark maroon color, com.
prlsed four feet. After the blossom had
W1thered and died the bulb was planted
and rom it grew a nest of great ulnbreI-
la-l1ke leaves, which reached their ma
turity in July and August. In September
the leaves perished and left nothing but
a new fat bulb. This was stored away
IN dark place, and this spring the
bulb will be brought to light and PASS
through its time OF flower and growth.
