THE MID-AUGUST FLOWERS. 233 
The following list is typical of the abundance of 
plant-life in these mid-August days. A glance back- 
ward will show that the first part of August 8th belongs 
to the preceding list; the last part of August 17th 
belongs to the succeeding one: so overflowing are 
the fountains of Life at this festal season. It will be 
borne in mind, too, that if I should count all those 
found in bloom on these two days, many of which are 
recorded in the preceding lists, the number would be 
largely increased.
