From the Scientific American ]
Mind in Plants.
"Tls my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air Il breathes."

So wrote Wordsworth long ago, and
very often the poets phrophetic spirit
anticipates results which slowly demon
strating Science arrives at only after
many years of patient observation and
logical deduction. Is it possible that
Wordsworth's faith in the capacity of
vegetation to enjoy was really such an
anticipation, that the consciousness
which enjoyment presupposes is in any
degree a function OF plants2
There is certainly a growing disposi-
ton on the part of scientific men to ac-
cept such a position, and the evidence in
support OF it has already become too
abundant to be overlooked or despised
As DR.. Forbes Winslow has remarked
vegetable life is so universally assumed
to be, as a matter OF course, unconscious
that it appears to many a mere folly t1
express a doubt OF the correctness OF the
assumption. But, he continues, let 8
close observer and admirer OF flower,
watch carefully their proceedings on the
assumption that they not only feel bu
enjoy life, and he will be struck with tn,
