Some of the finest specimens I have ever seen were grown under the latter conditions, and were in every way far superior to anything I have seen under greenhouse cultivation. I would therefore advise frame culture, especially in the summer. The plant requires a liberal supply of moisture and a fairly humid atmo- sphere during the grow- ing season. It should be freely syringed overhead in bright weather or when the outside conditions permit, especially when planted in the rockery. Heliamphora nutans is a rare and quaint species from South America, closely allied to, and requiring similar treat- ment to that recommended for the Sarracenias, with the exception that it needs more heat and is best suited when grown in the cool stove or warm greenhouse.
