Then. again. why does the madden
root contain quantities Of alizarine and
allied dye stuffs that in the past have
been of such great value. while in mod

facture them by artificial means? OF
what possible use can such dye stuffs
be to the plants? Consider the water
melon. covered by a thick opaque,
dark green skin. We may make some
sort of conjecture as TO the purpose of
this: it perhaps serves in keeping off
some of the large animals which would
devour the fruit, skin and all, and
thus leaving the melon to be burrowed
by worms, who leave the seeds I'M

color of the flesh of the melon? It
cannot serve as q charm to attract

The wood or indigo plant and several
others contain a substance known as
