 Many wild flower lovers get great enjoyment from photographing wild flowers in their natural places of growth. One of these. E. L. Crandall of the department of agriculture, has made a large collection of such pho tographs. a set of which he has given to be used for lantern slides and other wild flower work. Otber persons ob- tain equal enjoyment from making water-colored drawings of wild flow CTS. Notable among these is the col lection made by Mrs. Charles D. Wal colt wife of the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, who from time to time has placed these on eX- hibition in the Smithsonian building.
 biologists field club purchased several years ago an island of about thirteen acres in the Potomac river in order to preserve local wild plant and animal life from destruction. Since that time it has added nearly forty acres adjoining the island on the Maryland shore, to which it introduces from time to time colonies of plants not already represented there or urgently in need of protection. Numer- ous individuals in the District have
  smaller scale by having small colonies of their favorite wild flowers growing in a shady corner of their yard. Many of these flowers require special con ditions for successful growth and prospective wild flower gardeners are advised not to experiment. with the rarer wild flowers without expert ad- vice, as first attempts often fail.
 Among the attractive flowers that may be freely picked are the evening primrose. mullein. wild sunflower daisy, black-eyed Susan, daisy flea bane. aster. goldenrod. buttercup wild roses Japanese honeysuckle, common violet bluet and marsh marigold.
 A society known as the Wild Flow CT Preservation Society of America was organized in Washington in 1907 This chapter is endeavoring to educate the public to the necessity of preserv- ing all rare wild flowers by illustrated lectures and distribution of literature on the subject.

 - coming into the city laden with bright colored wild flowers and to low CTS of nature, no subject is of more interest than the perpetuation of the natual supply of these flowers, Few persons stop to think that there is any danger of any of these being practical ly exterminated, but the fact remains that in the vicinity of the District of Columbia the last wild cluGlp of rhododendron was nearly destroyed several years ago. The remains of this clump have, however been removed to protected surroundings. In the mountains of North Carolina carloads of rhododendron, mountain laurel and azalea, are dug up by the roots and hauled away by nurserymen and flor ists every year
 The mayflower, or trailing arbutus, is rapidly disappearing, because ev cry one who picks it usually pulls up several feet of roots, which are then broken off and thrown away.
 With the present rapid destruction of the Towering dogwood and sweet bay Cor swamp magnolia) the end of these plants cannot be many years distant
 Among the attractive herbaceous plants which need protection are the gentian, columbine, phiox, pansy and birds foot violets Dutchman's brooches, bloodroot hepatica, rue anemone, pond lily, bluebells, shoot violet or adder's tongue, wild indigo, wild lupine and all orchids. such as lady's slipper, lady's tresses, fringed orchid, pogania dragons mouth, cor ral root and rattlesnake plantain.
 It is said that teachers of botany classes in schools are often, thought lessly, among the greatest offenders, by taking their classes into the fields and woods and allowing them to dig up large numbers of rare plants, roots and all for the student col lections and for analysis. Botany teachers are urged to impress on their students the necessity of taking only common wild or cultivated plants for class use. Roots of the rarer plants should not be disturbed and plenty of flowers left to make seed. It is also said that students, Boy and Girl Scouts and others can often help increase the rarer wild flowers by collecting part of the ripe seed and it in as nearly the same kind of surroundings as possible where the plants do not grow.
