Arabian desert. Daisies of burnished old gold, tightly termi¬ 
nate each stem, while from paper-thin closeness beneath

unfolds to flower, another fern-rosette creeps out radiat- 
ingly from below. So it repeats itself, ad infinitum, or at 
least all summer, to put a slight limitation on infinity, until 
each plant is a mound of ferniness, with flowers like bits of 
gold strewn through it. Pkt. 15c.
