To Protect the Flowers.

Edelweiss and other characteristic
Swiss flowers are said to be in dan
ger of total extinction because of the

the way of a plant, and do not simply
pull the flowers, but dig up the Pant.
1t is proposed to introduce a law that
will prevent the buying, selling or dig
ging of edelweiss, fire lily, Siberian
spring crocus, Alpine columbine, the
Daphne, Alpine violet or other ma
tional flowers.
