The Snowball, Tame and Wild 
The upper snowball is the one which grew in Mr. 
Burbank’s yard, or such as commonly grows under cultivation. 
The snowball below is a wild one such as grows in the woods. The 
wild snowball, it will be seen, uses the flowers to attract 
messengers of pollenation to the reproductive mechanism 
which the flowers encircle. The upper snowball, 
however, has lost its power of reproduc- 
tion by seed and advertises to us, 
instead, to perpetuate its race.
