Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. PARASITE PARK 1211 and the broom-rape. Members of the first class are ac- tive photosynthetically, and may manufacture their own carbonaceous material from CO2 and water, while mem- bers of the second class must receive all or nearly all similar foods from the host. There are all gradations between Parasites and saprophytes; there are plants parasitic at one stage and saprophytic at another, and there are those which are at once parasitic and sapro- phytic. B.

Love Apple. LiUacem, Everyone who knows and loves a Trillium will be interested in the Herb Paris, which differs from a Trillium in having its floral parts in 4's instead of 3's. There are about 8 species alto- gether, and in some of them the floral parts are in higher numbers than four. They resemble Trilliums in being small, hardy, rhizomatous plants, found in moun- tainous countries of the north temperate zone, and even in the arctic regions. Also they have a single whorl of Ivs. at the top of the scape and a single flower, but in Paris the outer perianth segments are more herba- ceous and calyx-like, while the inner ones are much narrower and less showy, being mere strips of petal or even entirely absent. The name Paris is an interesting one. The berry of the plant is compared to the apple of discord, while the four leaves surrounding it are likened to Paris and the three envious goddesses, Juno, Minerva and Venus. Others think the name is derived from par, equal, refer- ring to the agreement in number between leaves and floral parts
