HERBS WITH JUICY FRUITS 



"DELOW are given the names of 12 herbaceous plants with 

 ■U fleshy fruits, which may be added to the list given in the 

 February number of the Botanist. Notice the prevalence of 

 red. This is probably due to ''natural selection", red being 

 more conspicuous and hence more likely to attract the atten- 

 tion of birds than the other colors named. — E. F. Andrews, 

 Rome, Georgia.
