A PLANT THAT DRINKS.

event from botanical standpoint.
while. now that these freaks OF the
vegetable kingdom have attained such
widespread popularity. a novelty in this
line may be worth many thousands OF
dollars. Plant hunters are looking for
such epiphytes in the farthest corners
OF the world, seeking them especially
in little known and unexplored regions,
for the chance of finding fortune in
the shape OF single plant offers q
tempting bait.

best should be selected. II the largest
