Starfsh viii grow new arms. Holsters
new claws and lizards new tails. A
new lizard win not indeed spring from
a new tail or a new lobster from a
discarded claw, but a new stardsh will
grow from a detached arm In the
vegetable kingdom. as a writer In
knowledge remarks, this phenomenon
Is still more common and has been put
by man to practical use. Although
identical in principle. the growing Of a
plant from a cutting may not seem
so astonishing as the growing Of a
new starfish. but growing not one but
many plants from a leaf seems almost
as extraordinary. Among the many
plants that can thus be propagated is
the begonia, and every housewife
knows a geranium plant can be grown
