In this chapter are included a few plants which seem not strictly 

 to belong to either the wayside or light woods, although many of 

 these may also be found in such places. It would seem that no soil is 

 too unfertile to support some sort of vegetation. Nature, so bounti- 

 ful in her gifts, has mosses and lichens to cover rocks, fungi for 

 bringing life out of decaying matter, flowers to beautify the sandi- 

 est soil.
