Mother Nature s Baby Ferns. 



Northwind for a playfellow. What do you think 

 she gave them ? Shall I tell you ? She gave them 

 little fur hoods. 



They do not throw off these hoods the first warm 

 day, but slip them back just a little at 

 a time. They are afraid that old Jack 

 Frost will catch them. 



Old Mother Nature knows what a 

 naughty fellow he is, so she told them 

 just what to do. 



When the sun has warmed the ground 

 and air, they will help old Mother Nature 

 make her woods beautiful.
