 mint and fern, together with wild roses and clematis and elder 

 in shadier spots. Xear Plevlje the magnificent forests present 

 endless varieties of fern, and there is a curious blue-flower with 

 a stalk much like that of our Solomon's seal. The tall yellow 

 dandelion, together with little low daisies, fringe the borders of 

 the forest, while moss covers the parterre l)etween. 



About Fort Jabuka. where the wild rose and the white clematis 

 do not overhang the train, the wild yellow-pany and the hare-bell 

 rise from the wayside, and the thin-stocked mullein grows aloof. 

 The thistle and the cowslip, the mint and the yellow elyssum, 

 together with a great yellow chamomile, the marguerite, the wild 

 althea and the moth-mullein, and a verv tinv white morning glory, 

 greet one on every walk. The tansy and the hare-bell and the 

 passion flower, too, grow wild and in profusion in this land.
