CHAPTER XXX 



FINDING ODD FLOWERS 



There Is no one like Tommy for finding odd 

 flowers, and knowing all about them. He is still 

 troubled though about the queer one I brought 

 from the woods, and which we have pressed, be- 

 cause there is nothing like it In any of his books. 

 Professor Bonn has gone to Europe for awhile, 

 so It may be some time before we can even find out 

 its name. 



To-day we went to the woods, so that I might 

 show Tommy the very spot where It grew, and 

 because we hoped to find another of the same kind. 

 Tommy could scarcely believe that It grew there 

 all by Itself, for he thinks Its seed must have been 

 sown by another plant not far away. 



Wfe passed the log where the sick robin had 

 been, and I showed Tommy the two PIpsIssewas 

 I had left and the place where the Ghost-flower 

 grew. We saw the very hole from which I had 

 taken up the queer flower. But although we looked 

 and looked all around, we could find no others 

 that were the least like it. Tommy feels almost 

 sure that I am a discoverer. 



"Did you see this Rattlesnake-weed when you 

 were here ? " he called.
