The California Cultivator contained
a description of a Pitcher plant which
is only found on the Pacific coast.

Up about 5000 altitude, among the
mountain moss, bog plants and rushes,
our native pitcher plant may be found
at it's best, curious plant, quite unlike
the pitcher plants found in other parts.
In common with other pitcher
plants, sun deWs and a great number
of plants, ours is insect-devouring.
Our illustration shows young leaves
only, but one having attained any size.
They often grow nearly two feet in
height, curiously striped and certain
parts afterward change to yellow, red
or brownish. The flowers are of the
same colors and though often of good
size, no means snowy or attractive
The pitcher-like leaves grow in a
rosette and are slender, spirally twist

this hood hangs two curious, strap
shaped, striped flaps Underneath the
hood is a mouth or opening which

Gypsy's Flowers Named.
or Floral Department:


| won't pretend to guess at the
time when human beings first felt
the necessity for naming things, but
it must have been very early after
their first appearance. At this epoch
in the age Of man, we find it impos-
slble to get along without names, and
II 1t happens that we find ourselves
confronted with some nameless new
thing, we StraightWay tack a name to
it, until we learn it's correct one
When [ read "Gypsy's" letter in the
June 5th issue, wherein she described
certain wild flowers, that were name
less to her, except where she had
named them because Of their likeness
to certain cultivated ones she was
familiar with, [ knew that it would be
true pleasure to her, to know their
right names, and any other facts con-
nected with them, and I told myself
that [ should give her that pleasure
in the near future, but many duties
have crowded me for time, and I have

ing my promise to myself.

were described, excepting one, and I
might have recognized that if I knew

Jasmines.

Editor Floral Department:
MIR. Meadows letter on Jasmines
is quite interesting, yet he does not
mention one of the very hnest, the
Jasminum grandihorum or Catalo-
niam. This is five pointed star, ex-
quisitely fragrant and in every way
desirable
The Cestrum Elegans he mentions
at the close Of his article, is HabrOth
anus, a flower little known, but very
pretty, being a fine winter bloomer,
with flowers shaped like huckleberry
blossoms, bright and snowy. Roots
readily from cuttings.
In this article the we'll known Cape
Jasmine is not mentioned, but the
TabernaemOntana COrOnarla Flora
Plena is similar, but l think superior
to the Cape Jasmine, being OF more
dazzling white and more lovely flow
er.
Taken in all, the Jasmine family is
a fine study for the flower lover, and
worthy of more attention than it re-
celVeS.
Mrs. G.. W. Avery.
(Mrs. Avery is correct in saying that
the Cestrum elegans is also known as
Habrothamnus elegans, but botanical
authorities have discarded the name Of
Habrothamnus and call all the species,
catalogued under that name, Cestrum.
This is not the only case where florists
have got plant names wrong, for ex-
ample, the very snowy and beautiful
plant catalogued as Phrynium varie-
gatum is really Maranta arund1nacea
variegatum, but will probably be listed
as Phrynium to the end of the chapter
TabernaemOntana cOronaria fl. pl is
worthy of all the praise that Mrs
Avery awards to it. It is known in
some places as Grape Jasmine. Yet it
is not a Jasmine any more than the
Rhynchospermum which is sometimes
called Star Jessamine. We have spell
led the common name both ways,
either is correct. 1t all goes to show
the glory of my Lilies; in the gladness
the botanical names of plants. They
are not by any means SO difficult as

tention of all flOWerlOvers, especially
those who are mothers, to two books
which are perfect gems in their line
One is 'Southern Wild Flowers and
Trees" by Alice Lounsbefry, and the
other is "Nature's Garden" by
Neltje Blanchan.
Not only are the foWer-plates and
pictures exquisite, in these books, but
the reading-matter is put in such
entertaining form that they read more
like beautiful prose poems than
botanies. When you want to buy a
choice book that will be educational,
for your son or your daughter, there
are none that give more satisfaction
than these.

fell to my lot to attend public

published by the Frederick A. Stokes
Co., New York City, price $3.65 net,
and the postage will be about 20 or
IS cents more. AS we said, it is a
valuable book, the only objection we
have to it is the fact that the writer,
while she is no doubt botanist, be-
longs to the extreme new school,
which is trying to upset the old
nomenclature and change them
around. For example, she calls Mag
nolia grandiAora, Magnolia foetida,
yet SO eminent an authority as Prof.
l.. H. Bailey, in his Cyc1opedia of
American Horticulture, still holds to
the old name grandihora. There are
also other similar instances which de-

Another beauty of the woods, is the

feet tall, and the blossoms crown the

suffused with blush-rose. The buds
