Aid Jrom the Butterfly 



This picture shows the butterfly at work on the Prince's 

 Feather or Cockscomb flower. The butterfly plays 6y no means so 

 important a part as the bee in plant fertilization, yet it constantly trans- 

 ports pollen* and there are many types oj tubular flowers that 

 depend entirely on butterflies or rnothis for cross-fertili- 

 zation. We think of the butterfly as leading an 

 absolutely aimless life, but it is a very use- 

 ful citizen in the flower garden.
