entire community a penalty might be exacted for the gathering, selling 
or possession of certain flowers at certain times. It would, at least, 
induce greater care upon the part of the majority, even if it did not

A few of the seeds sent for sale by Miss Ellen Willmott, of War- 
ley Place, Great Warley, England, are still to be had. In purchasing 
these seeds, not only may we give much future pleasure to ourselves, but 
help Miss Willmott to care for twenty-five Belgians who this year are 
occupying her time and Warley Place. The seeds are $1.00 a packet, 
but the packets are large, and might easily be divided among three or 
four people. Not many are left, so orders should be sent to Mrs. 
Bayard Henry, Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa., at once.

Geographic Magazine will do for wild flowers what it has previously so 
well done for birds.
