Flowers produced all summer and from their 

 odor called "brandy bottles." Many use the 

 roots as food, as also its farinaceous seeds. 

 The sepals graduate into petals and the rows 

 of petals into stamens. Reproduction is accom- 

 plished by the seeds, buds, bulblets, bulbs, tubers, 

 cuttings, scions, and from leaves. Thus God's 

 boundless resources of skill can accomplish 

 either one purpose in a thousand different 

 ways, or a thousand different purposes by one 

 radical form and that form a leaf.
