SYMBOLIC OF THE QUIET OF SUMMER WOODS 



Small "wild flower reservations" should be set apart by the gover»ment in the haunts of the choicest species, 

 and laws against picking wild flowers should operate in all parks and forest and game reservations. The delicate 

 waxy pipsissewa, or princes pine {Chimaphila umbellata) , is typical of the low, woods flower which children pick 

 by the handful thoughtlessly and scatter withered along the way home. If schools will but emphasize the really im- 

 portant things in botany, boy and girl scouts and all children will enforce protection of rare wild flowers
