Hi Jay,

It reads (I'm paraphrasing here), "Since there are so many of these
plants, just go out into the wild a dig some up for yourself."

Ok, this is an old book and when it was written, this was not
a problem for the plants. I can't really detest this opinion
when I take into count how much larger the populations of Sarra-
cenia WERE. What really counts is this was still the author's
attitude only a few year ago (3).
