OUR JULY WILD FLOWERS. (1) 



" There is a lesson in each flower, 

 A story in each stream and bower j 

 On every herb on which you tread 

 Are written words which rightly read 

 Will lead from earth's fragrant sod 

 To hope and holiness, and God.

 of wild flowers. My list for July is singularly limited. It is 

 true that some of the June flowers linger into early July, but 

 they are on the decline.
