THE GUIDE TO NATURE 



winter and well merit careful examina- 

 tion with a pocket microscope. In some 

 secluded corner not far from where 

 the clump is growing you will find 

 among the leaves a profusion of these 

 seeds with their balloon-like appen- 

 dage, all of which is indeed extremely 

 attractive. Let us not think that our 

 botany must end with the autumn and 

 that life needs any pass time when 

 there is so much to enjoy even in the 

 fields of midwinter. Longing for 

 flowers to come? Then study and 

 dwell on those of the past. 



Omitted Credit. 



The frontispiece to the February 

 number of The Guide to Nature — a 

 view of the AA Home — was from a 

 photograph kindly contributed to Ar- 

 cadia by Mr. J. Edw. Brown of Stam- 

 ford, who also took the protograph of 

 the Lockwood & Palmer building, an 

 illustration of which was used in their 

 advertisement in the same number. 

 Mr. Brown is one of the most skillful 

 commercial photographers that it has 

 been my privilege to know. He uses 

 high grade lenses and cameras and puts 

 skilled and enthusiastic heart service 

 and head work back of them.
