PLEA FOR THE PLANTS.
Editor OF The Phoenix:

Editor Of The Phoenix:
Let me, through your columns, add
my sentiments to those expressed by Mrs.
Davenport in last weeks issue under
Spare the Plants" 1 think that child
rem should be admonished by parents and
teachers about carelessly pulling up
plants by the roots while gathering wild
flowers. No doubt they have no thought
whatever of destroying plant life in their
JOY and eagerness to gather the beauti-
full wild flowers which abound on our
many hillsides, but as some OF our most
attractive plants are easily pulled from
the ground little care will help to pre-
serve the species. The trailing arbutus,
wild columbine, pale cordalis, yellow and
pink lady's slipper seem to be suffering
in certain localities. but perhaps not more
so than some others The roots of plants
should not be removed without some use
