EDWARD. 



I HAVE brought in some beautiful Poppies from the 

 corn fields ; and I am sure they are in the thir- 

 teenth class, Polyandria, for all the stamens are 

 fixed to the receptacles, and there are more than 

 twenty of them. Will you read the description of 

 the poppy for me ? 



MOTHER. 



I will, my dear, with pleasure. It gives me 

 great satisfaction to find that you begin to distin- 

 guish the classes by yourself. But we must go on 

 regularly: is there nothing else to be determined 

 before we come to the genus ?
