SEAWEEDS 



Much of this plant is found between Fort Hamilton and 

 Coney Island. It extends northward to Cape Cod, but 

 no farther. 



These are only a few of the many seaweeds that 

 are found among the rocks or along the sand. 



" Search the shore, 



Each rock pool has its treasure, every tide 

 Strews on the yellow sand from Ocean's lap 

 Weed than our flowers more fair, and fitted more 

 To beautify the album's tasteful page." 



Beautiful ferns with fronds so green^ 

 In woods and meadows are often seen; 

 Beautiful mushrooms in colors bright, 

 Hiding their spores from the strong sunlight. 

 Beautiful mosses with tiny leaves 

 Cover the rocks and the fallen trees. 

 Beautiful lichens in gray and brown 

 Remain with us when the snow falls down. 

 Beautiful seaweeds out of the sea 

 Are cast on the sand for you and me. 

 Beautiful plants are these, large and small; 

 God has made them for us all.
