CHAPTER XIX 



DEEP, COOL, SHADED, DAMP WOODS 



"Though plants are often referred to primitive woods as their 

 locality, it cannot be true to very many. Only those which re- 

 quire but little light and can bear the drip of trees penetrate the 

 woods, and these have, commonly, more beauty in their leaves 

 than in their pale and almost colorless blossoms."
