It must have a larger surface to collect the light when the latter Is comparatively dim.

And so we find that this species has the broad. thin leaves of a shade plant leaves with we'll developed stems. but otherwise so similar to those of the elm tree as to give this goldenrod It's distinctive name. But 1t gives a touch of color to the somber shades of the woods that we would not willingly do without.--Woman's Home Companion.
