SUMMER 



No, I shall not even try to number the insects 

 the butterflies, beetles, moths, wasps, bees, bugs, 

 ticks, mites, and such small "deer" as you will find 

 in the round of your summer's tramp. Nor shall 

 I try to name the flowers and trees, the ferns and, 

 mosses. It is with the common things that you ought 

 now to become familiar, and one summer is all too 

 short for the things you ought to see and hear and 

 do in your vacation out of doors.
