Conservation OF Wild Flowers
1t is regrettable fact that some
species of our wild flowers are
threatened with extinction. There
are many causes of this, but those
of commercial nature, such as
numbering, grazing, cultivation of
the soil, and others are the great
est. These causes cannot be stop
ped, but there is one cause that
can be. 1t is the ruthless plucking
of our wild flowers by thoughtless
pleasure seekers. Some flowers
that are threatened with extinction
are moccasin flower, mountain
laurel, lady's slipper, white water
lily, and dogwoOd. More attention
should be given to the conservation
