CHAPTER VII. 



FRUIT. 



Do you re- 

 member my 

 telling you 

 about the pis- 

 til ? I showed 

 it to you in 

 the primrose, 

 as well as in 

 the buttercup, 

 and we saw 

 that it had a 

 little bag or 

 bags, from 

 each of which 

 grew up a 

 kind of beak. 

 In the prim- 

 b, The Fruit. rose, one bag 



and a long slender beak ; in the buttercup, many 



bags with short pointed beaks. 



Let us look again at the pistil in the buttercup.
