SEED TRAMPS 



V September ist 



N his charming volume Wake-Robin Mr. 

 Burroughs has felicitiously alluded to 

 the weeds as the " tramps of the vege- 

 table world." "They are going east, west, north, 

 south," he says ; " they walk, they fly, they swim, 

 they steal a ride ; they travel by rail, by flood, 

 by wind ; they go under ground and they go 

 above, across lots and by the highway. But, like 

 other tramps, they find it safest by the highway. 

 In the fields they are intercepted and cut off, but 

 on the public road every boy, every passing herd 

 of sheep or cows, gives them a lift."
