FLOWER-LAND. 



CHAPTER III. 



FLOWER STAMENS AND PISTIL. 



YOU have al- 

 ready learnt 

 about two of the 

 parts of a per- 

 fect flower, the 

 calyx and the 

 corolla; the calyx 

 holding the co- 

 rolla as a saucer 

 holds a cup. The 

 other two parts 

 of a flower we 

 shall learn about 

 to-day. 



I think our 

 old favourite, the 

 buttercup, will 

 suit us best : it 



is common everywhere, and we shall soon find one. 



Yes, here are several, so we will pick that bright one 



which has just opened.
