AUGUST WILD FLOWERS. 



SI 



The Narbalus, or Rattlesnake root is a tall 

 plant, generally round associated with the 

 Golden Rod and Michaelmas Daisies. 



In the fall, seeds and fruit form a very at- 

 tractive study, many of our berries being more 

 handsome than the flowers they have succeed- 

 ed : I may instance the brilliant red and snow 

 white berries of the Actia. the deep blue of 

 the Clintonia, the twisted stem, and the net- 

 ted veined berries of the Smilacinas."
