ON SOME FAMILIAR COMPOSITES 



worthy the attention not merely of the beginner 

 but also of the amateur who has gained a measure 

 of experience, and who is willing to try his hand 

 at problems of plant development that are not free 

 from difficulties. 



As I said before, it would be possible to extend 

 almost indefinitely this list of interesting flowers 

 that invite development. But the ones named may 

 serve by way of introduction, and the amateur may 

 readily extend the list by looking about in almost 

 any garden or by rambling almost anywhere along 

 country roads or in neighboring fields. 



The material lies everywhere 

 about us, and despite the activi- 

 ties of large numbers of flower 

 lovers, there are hundreds of 

 species readily accessible that 

 have never come under the 

 hand of the cultivator, and 

 which therefore have the 

 attraction of entire novelty.
