tions a booklet made by the pupil telling many things about the 

 seeds in the bottles. 



If the seeds form a part of our food, an account of the sowing and 

 cultivating of the grain should be given as well as a short description 

 of how the seeds are prepared for food. For instance a story of a 

 grain of wheat should be quite different from that of a kernel of 



Indian Com. If the seeds are used for the food of stock or of 

 poultry, they should be similarly described. 



For the study of weed seeds the following outline might be 

 followed : 



Outline for the study of weed seeds. 



1 . Where was the weed growing ? Was it in a cultivated crop 

 or in meadow or roadside ? 



2. What kind of root has the weed? Has it a tap-root hke 

 the wild carrot ; or a tassel-like root like the plantain or a creep- 

 ing rootstock like the Canada thistle?
