Free Seed Distributions 



THE prodigality of Nature in her 

 ceaseless endeavor at reproduction 

 is something that fairly staggers the 

 imagination. You have only to ex- 

 amine the seedheads of the plants 

 growing along any roadside in Septem- 

 ber to appreciate this fact. Mathema- 

 ticians will have to coin new terms and 

 find new and illuminating phrases if 

 they ever undertake a census of the old 

 Earth's annual seed production and 

 distribution. Apparently Nature is 

 more interested in propagating plants 

 that we regard as "pests" than she is 

 in extending the field of what we call 

 the useful or the merely ornamental. 



The fact that there are so many 

 highly-organized growths in this world
