A CJiiHi us 



branch out, following the form of the leaf in a wonderful sequence of 

 lines ; this is radiation. 



You will observe that, in spite of this repetition of form, giving 

 restfulness and unity, Nature is never monotonous. There are always 

 variations to prevent the design from becoming uninteresting. In the 

 leaf before us you will notice how the veins are finer and nearer together 

 as they approach the point, widening into stronger lines and wider 

 spaces near the broader parts. 



What an immense influence natural plant form has had on art from 

 all time ! We can never be at a loss for subjects, and foliage especially 

 opens up a most wide and varied field for study.
