We get strength and nourishment from the same mate- 
rial which the mother plant has prepared for her young. 
Now try to name the different seeds which help to 
make up our food. Already we have mentioned several 
kinds. Besides these, there is the oat seed (from which 
comes oatmeal), the wheat seed (from which comes 
flour for our bread), the coffee seed, the buckwheat 
seed, the peanut seed, the almond seed, and many 
others, some of which will come to your mind from time 
to time. 
_ I wish you would make for your teacher a list of all 
those that you can recall; or, better still, I should like 
you to collect as many as you possibly can, and bring 
them to your next class. If you cannot find the seeds 
just as they grow upon the plant, you may be able to 
get them prepared for use. A pinch of flour, for in- 
stance, would answer for wheat seeds, of oatmeal for 
oat seeds. 
I have in mind a number of seeds that you can easily 
secure, of which I have not spoken; and it will be in- 
teresting at our next meeting to see which child in this 
class is able to make the best exhibition of seed food.
