Daisies and Asters 
Large Daisie.-^, white and blue, cover 
acres of ground in August at an altitude 
of five or six thousand feet on the sides 
of Mount Rainier. 
We picked some in pieces and counted 
the little simple fiowers which make up 
one fiower head. 
As the Daisies begin to grow old, the 
bright purple Asters come. These flowers 
are sisters. 
They belong to a large family called 
the Composite Family. The Sunflowers, 
the Dandelions and the Goldenrods be¬ 
long to this, the proudest family of sum¬ 
mer and autumn. 
No. 34.
