From samples and colored pictures, etc., teach the pupils 

 to recognize many flowers, both cultivated and wild. While 

 they study, let them also enjoy the flowers, and make wreaths, 

 bouquets, etc. Incidentally they may learn the names of 

 some of the parts, as petals, sepals, leaves, etc. 



Exercises in the study of color and formation are given 

 easily with flowers.

 mon colors in 1 flowers? 

 Select all the white 

 ones; all the yellow;

 ones on one side and the 

 lighter tints on the other 

 side, ending with the 

 lightest. Which are the 

 largest flowers ? WTiich 

 the smallest? Put to- 

 gether flowers that seem

 or arrangement of parts. 



Which flowers grow in or near the water? Which are

A WILD FLOWER HERBARIUM 



This book was filled with specimens gathered and 

 pressed by first grade pupils of the Utah State 

 Normal Training School. Most of them were 

 found near the school. The common name is 

 written under each, and the pupils learn when 

 and where they bloom.
