274 A Woodland Scene. 



The price of the first century is placed at $10.00 (unmounted). 

 Specimens will be carefully mounted for the herbarium at a mod- 

 erate advance. Published only by subscription. Fleshy parts of 

 flowers, and fruits, will be preserved in alcohol when desired. 



Sections of ligneous plants made upon request. 



Living plants and seeds of all commercial species supplied; 

 while we anticipate the introduction of many interesting species 

 worthy of cultivation through the efforts of our collectors in 

 Mexico, Central and South America, and elsewhere. 



Cultivated plants are usually neglected in herbaria and we trust 

 our efforts in this direction will be appreciated by educational and 

 scientific institutions, and that all interested in botanical or hor- 

 ticultural science will improve this opportunity and lend assistance 

 to the work. Orcutt Seed and Plant Company.

A WOODLAND SCENE. 



Roses wild and rushing waters, 



Made a refreshing place, 

 Here the cedar bird came to drink, 



The fawn to see its face. 



Blue was the sky above them all N 



The stars not far away, 

 And weary Peace might here have slept 



Through all the livelong day. 



Far from human pride and sorrow, 



Dreamy was e'en the air, 

 But soon the woodman's axe was heard, 



That opened a path to Care ! 



The rushing waters fled amazed, 



Some feeble waves were caught, 

 And to man's way obedient 



Were in his service taught. 



The cabin and the busy mill, 



Grew where the fawn had stood, 

 The wild rose and the cedar bird 



Came no more to the wood.
