98 STJMMEE IN A BOQ. 



work of this kind her highest nature revels, 

 expands, and bursts into blossom. It is an 

 adorable quality, therefore let us recognize it. 

 With it she exalts the race. But it must be 

 stamped in the mint of golden coin and made 

 a standard of human obligation if the world 

 is to gain the full benefit of it. 



Ohio has had her share of women -^ho have 

 aided relatives in scientific work. It was the 

 wife of William SuUivant, the noted Ohio bot- 

 anist, who first found the flower which is known 

 as the Saxifrage Sullivantia, and brought it to 

 his attention. Finding no mention of it in his 

 books, it was sent to Asa Gray for identifica- 

 tion. He immediately recognized it as a new 

 addition to the Genus Saxifragaceme, and was 

 named by him in honor of its discoverer. In 

 Grreen Lawn Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio, where 

 she is buried, there is a bust of Mrs. William 

 Sullivant which bears a wreath of this graceful 

 flower sculptured across the bosom. 



Miss Josephine Klippart aided her father, 

 when State agriculturist, with her skill in draw- 

 ing. The fine paintings of the Buckeye and the 

 Dogwood in the botanical department of the 

 Ohio State University illustrate her taste and 

 artistic ability. In faithfulness to nature these 

 plant portraits could not be excelled, having 

 wonderful accuracy of detail.
