Franklin Dye, secretary Of the New

Wonder Of Plant Memory.

Plant memory is problem FOR the
inouisitive botanist, says the Dundee
Advertiser. In 1901 plant allied TO
the squash and pumpkin was taken to
New York from the desert OF Sonora,
In Mexico. and since then 1t has been
kept-without watering-in a strange
climate $500 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks of rain in the des-
ert the plant grows its leaves and
flowers and perfects its seed. Then
It dries up and leaves only q water
filed gourd, which thick. hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season OF nix
weeks, 1t wakes, sends out rostiets'
stems and leaves. and then dries up
again until the following year.
