 A love of plants seems to be less in- of us wish to see things that move. Yet multitudes of people are devoted to flowers and plants. chiefly to those plants which are cultivated
 Why should not men and women who reside in the country, and within
 whose easy reach wild flowers bloom | in great profusion, variety, and beauty. ornament their places with these flow CTS and make friends of them as well as | of the birds?
 It is true that plants show them selves less adaptable than animals; i that efforts must be made to secure for the transplanted voilet or pyrola or orchid just the proper conditions of soil and shade and moisture suited to 1 its continued life and growth.
 | Yet the effort to do this is worth making for, if the plant can once be established, it needs no further care. and remains perpetual beauty and a continued encouragement to further efforts in wild flower culture. Those who live on farms or who own large
 places where there is variety of soil and shade moisture, may do much in this direction. A search of the neigh
 borhood for beautiful plants adapted | to special conditions which the land offers is certain to be rewarded, and l the heart of man or women or child will be filled with joy and pride by
 successfully establishing wild garden, 1 Many highly ornamental wild plants
 at once suggest themselves for such l semi domestication; the water lilies, white and yellow, for the water of
 ponds; sedges, and wild rice for their
 borders; moccasins flowers for dry. | shaded knolls; the wild honeysuckle, and the Virginia creeper for climbers about the house and buildipgs-and a hundred other plants, all different in 1 habbit. and so requiring different treat

When he did come these men had to stop selling it at any price l never went near my mare without bringing her tobacco. If she did not get 1t right away, she would begin to shove me with her nose, and keep 1t up until gave her the usual chew.
