210 OCTOBER 



I raised a goodly number from seed, and bought 

 many more, and planted them all over a corner of 

 the orchard. The first summer I had a fair number 

 of flowers, the second none, and it is certain that 

 this bareness was not due to any destruction of the 

 leaves by the scythe, for the grass was not mown 

 until August.
