EDUCATING WILD PLANTS 



Thii;.e who attempt to introduce wild plants 

 into their gardens by means of seeds, often 

 find it difficult to get the plants established 

 in this way. Although they seem to grow 

 well enough in their native haunts, they arc 

 slow to germinate in cultivation or fail to 

 come up at all. It is likely that we uncon- 

 sciously contribute to this failure by treating 

 the seeds differently than they are treated in 

 Nature. For instance, we are likely to keep 

 them in a dry room over Winter, when they 

 are accustomed to lie in the cold and sodden 

 ground through that season. It appears, 

 however, that when wild flowers are intro- 

 duced into cultivation and propagated by 

 means of their seeds, the slowness to sprout 

 wears ofT. and thereafter they grow readily. 

 A scientific explanation of the facts seems to 

 be that only those seeds which can grow at 

 all in such situations are likely to leave 

 descendants, and since children are like their 

 parents, there is soon bred ui) from tlK>e a 

 race of plants that is amenable to garden 

 cultivation by the elimination of those less 

 able to survive in surli situations. — American 

 Bolanisl. 



Let us gather up the sunbeams 



Lying all around our path ; 

 Let us keep the wheal ami roses. 



Casting out the thorns and chafT. 

 Let us find the sweetest comfort 



In the blessings of today. 

 With a patient hand removing 



All the briers from the way. 



— Phoebe Cary.
