The lupine, which belongs to the Pea family, shoots 
off its seeds by twisting the dry pod, as it opens to let 
them out. Even our garden sweet peas and some of 
our garden beans do this. Watch to see if you can 
catch them at it. ■ 
Plants have many, many ways of sending their 
precious seed children out in the world to find a grow- 
ing place. 
There is no better way to spend our spare time than 
to watch the ripe fruits of plants and find out how the 
seeds are dispersed. Nearly all plants have some 
methods of sending their seeds abroad. 
You will enjoy the plants more than ever when you 
begin to discover for yourself some of the things 
they do.
