INSECT EATING
PLANT FLOWER
SHOW EXHIBIT
Rare Specimen to Be on Dis
play at Exposition of
Florists.

An insect eating plant, one Of the few
forms Of plant life Of this kind known,
will be among the rare and unusual
plants and flowers to be seen at the fifth
national flower show Of the Society Of
American Florists and Horticu1turists,
which is to be held at the State fair
ground at indianapolis, March % to
April l.
The pitcher plant" as it is often
called, is technically known as Nepen-
thes, and thriving best only in the heat
of the tropics, is usually found in Bor-
neo, Madagascar and Ceylon. This
strange plant has been nlcknamed the
pitcher plant" because. the extension Of
its les terminates IN the perfect form
of a pitcher, lid and all.
" insects, such as bees or flies, once
explore the inside of the pitcher they
never escape. as It is impossible for
them to climb up the interior walls of
the pitcher, and they are finally drowned
in fluid contained in the pitcher, which
is capable Of digesting certain kinds Of
animal matter.
The pitchers closely resemble in shape
the bowl Of a large pipe, five or six
inches in depth, although some Of the
largest pitchers measure eight inches in
depth by three inches in width.
Clarence r. Greene, chairman Of the
special feature committee. Is arranging
to have one of the exposition days set
apart as rose day, and another car
nation day. On these days flower grow
ers from all over the country win have
on display the finest roses and carnations
that can be produced by modern science,
and thousands OF rose plants and cut
flowers viii be given away.
in making plans for the exposition
every suggestion is tested by a high
standard of beauty and educational value,
which has been set for the show, with a
view to making it an event unsurpassed
in beauty and loveliness. Millions Of
flowers viii be banked along the winding
paths, which are to be laid out on the
floor 81 the Manufacturers building, and
there viii be no ugly wooden booths to
interfere with effect which the display
is intended to give Of a vast garden of
exquisite beauty.
