The Snowball Tame and Wild 



The upper snowball is the one which grew in Mr. 

 Burbank's yard, or such as commonly grows under cultivation. 

 The snowball below is a wild one such as grows in the woods. The 

 wild snowball, it will be seen, uses the flowers to attract 

 messengers of pollenation to the reproductive mechanism 

 which the flowers encircle. The upper snowball, 

 however, has lost its power of reproduc- 

 tion by seed and advertises to us, 

 instead, to perpetuate its race.
