coats, which are often very hard to crack. as We
all know. Nevertheless, many animals live upon
nuts and doubt carry away some that they do
not eat. Squirrels often hide nuts for winter use
and then forget to go and eat them. So the nut
tree gets some of its seeds scattered, after all.
Some plants their carriers. The tumble
weed which grows in dry and sandy places, has
very small root. and in the fall, when II is done
growing, and the little rootlets whose business it
70 forage the plant, dry up, slight gust of
wind is all that is necessary to tear it from it's
nloorfngs Then it goes tumblng the fields
scattering seeds on its way.
Still other plants shoot their seeds as far they
can from the spot where they grow Some of the
volets squeeze their seeds from the pods, just as
we squeeze a moist apple seed from between the
fingers. The geranium shoots its seeds by another
method and the touch-me- not has still a different
way. In the tropics plants of this class sometimes
shoot their seeds with such violence that any one
in the neighborhOod is liable to be seriously injured
In all these ways and many others nature scatters
her seeds and keeps the earth bountful and fruit
full and if we think of these things the next time
we get burrs in our clothes perhaps we shall not
mind them much.
