Surprises of the Prairie 



SWEET WILLIAM 



time of the singing of birds had come, and the humming of 

 bees. In the open meadow it seems a pity to cut this beauty 

 down when the sickle comes to mow the hay. The bloom 

 of this flower has several shades of pink. I have seen them 

 altogether white, and shading from that to a lovely lilac.
