natives of Europe, are pretty representatives here; the 

 creeping bell-flower, or Canterbury bells, also a native of 

 Europe, may be found here in several forms; the Japanese 

 bell-flower and its white variety are also here, their large 

 showy flowers making them quite conspicuous. A little 

 further on and to the left is the lobelia family; the cardinal 

 flower and the great lobelia, both natives of North America, 

 make showy objects; the former is particularly striking 

 in its rich masses of cardinal-red flowers. 



To the right of the teasel family is the chicory family. 

 The common lettuce (Lactuca), so much used in salads, be- 

 longs here; many of the plants are extremely weedy by 

 nature, and this is particularly true of the hawkweeds, a 

 genus richly represented in the Old World, several species 

 of which are shown here; the oyster plant is also a member 

 of this family. 



To the left of this may be found the ragweed family. 

 All the species here are of a weedy nature. The ragweed, 

 the giant ragweed and the common clot-blur find represen- 

 tation here. Terminating the sequence comes the very 

 large thistle family, represented by many species from all 

 parts of the world; there are nine beds at present given over 

 to these plants; the sunflowers, coneflowers, thistles, asters, 

 fleabanes, yarrows, golden-rods, tansies, sneezeweeds, bur- 

 docks, artemisias and wormwoods, cat's-foot, tick-seeds, 

 elecampane, boneset, chrysanthemums, colt's-foot and 

 many others are shown; the Jerusalem artichoke, one of the 

 sun-flowers, a native of eastern North America, bears edible 

 tubers.
