no stamens. The condition, there
fore, is very much as it was in the
corn.t Pollen is borne in one blossom
and the pistil, resulting in the fruit,
in another; yet both are necessary
for the production of fruit. I have
talked with many a man who has
raised these plants all his life, but
who had not yet noticed this peculiar
arrangement of the flowers, and when
l pointed it out to them they would
say, "Why, / thought those flowers
did not amount to anything, that
they were just bad blossoms"
Do you not think it would add to
the interest of the school work if the
teacher would take a few minutes
once or twice a week and point out
some of these things to the children?
And will this knowledge not be worth
something by adding to the pleasure
of their lives in later years? Not
only this, but such knowledge of q
plant blossom has also a money value
inasmuch as we can produce cross
breeds of plants if we know enough
about their construction. J. hope in
a future letter to say something
about the crossing of plants.
Can you not get the school teacher
of your district to give a little time
to such study of blossoms as I have
suggested or to some form of nature
study this coming year?

will the teacher find it valuable tt
call the attention of younger chill
dren to little objects of interest, anC
give them little bits of information
about plants, bugs, etc. 1t need take
no time from the school.
Let the teacher bring in a peculiar
blossom and the children will, with q
little encouragement, cluster around
her and ask questions about it. This
may be done before school and at re-
cess. By encouraging the children
to ask questions much knowledge
about the flower will be brought out
and much of Importance learned.
facts which even the parents at home
do not yet know.
Nam regard the beauty of the
blossoms as intended for the enjoy
ment of man., and do not think that
the pretty petals and corollas are
for the purpose of making the flow
er snowy so that insects may readi-
ly find it, The Importance of these
visits of the insects may be empha-
sized by pointing to the stamens with
their pollen.
Even the youngest children will
be glad to get the different kinds of
flowers and see if they can find the
stamens in them.
One of the incest flowers to use in
showing the different parts is that
of the iimson weed. The stamens
here r so large that anybody can
find them and recognize them easily.
Compare this with the tobacco bios
som which is almost of the same
construction. Now the cowpea is
quite differentiated is, it's flower is
not alike on all sides. It is not SYM
matrical. The stamens here are ten.
nine fastened together, and the
other one standing by itself.
In the cotton plant there are many
stamens all fastened together in a
curious manner.
1t will be well to bring in a stalk
of corn and point out to the pupils
that the ear is a collection of pistils.
Each kernel is a pistil and the long
silk is style and stigma.
Look in the tassel for stamens.
You will find three in each blossom.
If you shake the tassel when it is of
the eight age, a cloud of pollen will
come from it. Point out to the child
the necessity of pollen reaching sta
men in order to produce seed. In the
corn the wind carries the pollen, and
for the cowpea large insects do it.
Most plants with snowy blossoms
have the pollen carried by insects.
In the corn plant. we see stamens
on one part of the plant and pistils
on another part. This is also true
OF the cucumber and watermelon and
some other similar plants. Examine
either of these plants and Won will
find just below some of the blossoms

A Magnificent Water
Front for Sale.

There is no more attractive salt
water frontage in Chatham county
than that at Coffee Bluff.
The stream of water is bold, with a
grand outlook seward, and the best
fishing in this vicinity.
The contiguous land is fertile, and
the woods abound in oak and hickory.
This tract consists of 100 acres, hav-
ing a water frontage of 400 feet
The land is reached by the White
Bluff road, affording a shelled road to
within three miles of the land, and
there are good prospects of this short
space being shelled in the near flu
ture.
THIS land is easily divided into
building lots with beautiful frontage,
and a good acreage in the rear.
Promoters and spectators are in
vited to investigate this as rare
chance for profit.
