AN UNDERGROUND FRUIT 



1 67 



pod, pallid, and beset with fine brown hairs, and which 

 not one person in a thousand of those who know this 

 common plant has ever seen. These are the seeds that 

 plant the soil for next year's vines, and are the fruits 

 of queer little underground blossoms, bearing no more 

 resemblance to those at the "other end" than is seen 

 in the pods.
