MUSKMALLOW 



of our garden escapes, the Muskmallow, so called 

 because the whole plant emits a faint odor of musk. 

 Long ago this pretty creature scaled the garden wall, 



Muskmallow. Mdlva moschdla 



made itself at home upon the roadside and waste 

 places and in consequence lost caste, so that now it is 

 rarely seen in garden enclosures, except in the wild 

 border.
