NEEDS OF PLANTS: PART I 



"Oh, Mary, what a beautiful flower !" cried little Nellie Brown, 

 as Mary Hooper came into the room, .holding aloft a delicate 

 pink rose. " Where did you get 

 it?" 



"My Aunt Susan gave it to 

 mo," said Mary; "she had just 

 brought it from her garden. She 

 gave one just as pretty to Lucy.' 



"Has it any perfume?" asked 

 Nellie. 



"Yes," replied Mary; "smell 

 it," and she held the beautiful 

 pink flower before Nellie. 



"How sweet!" said Nellie. "What will you do with it?" 



"Oh, I am going to put it at once in water. You know cut 

 flowers cannot live without food, and water is their food." 



So saying, she filled a vase with clear water, and placed her 

 pretty flower in it.
