Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
Eastern Silvery Aster.

THERE are $50 members in this
family and most of them North
American natives. Their Latin
name means star. The names
given to these flowers usually
indicate color. As their exquisite colors
are dainty pastel shades, in the Au-
tumn, when the asters are in their
glory, you hardly know which one
of them you really like best.
These starlike flowers are to be found
in our woodlands, along the brooks
and streams, in the meadows, dusty
roadsldes and in the fields. And
asters by the brookside make asters
| in the brook"
Here is where you find such beau
tiful masses of them. Sunshine is
very essential to the happiness OF
asters. 1t is why you ind such fields
of them where they can enjoy the
sun all day long.
In one interesting thing, the flower
is like the goldenrods. 1t begins to
bloom at the tip of the branches first
and the flower heads that are nearest
the central stem will open up last.
You may have the sad experience
of gathering an armful of asters to
| bring home with you. Don't do it.
Asters are very sensitive, and when
you take them indoors they promptly
close up. No amount of water will
coax them to lift their heads or open
their faces to the world again.
This act of theirs is directly oppo-
site that of the goldenrods, which
seem to flourish in the home and will
last for several days. Yet the two
belong to the same family.
Being among the flowers that have
learned that advertising pays, the
asters spread full-page notices to the
i flying patrons they are anxious to
have call. Blue is the color beloved
by insects, and it is not any time before
you will see busy insects creeping over
the yellow-disked flowers.
Like many flowers which hold their
face to the sky, the aster has to de-
wise ways to prevent losing her precious
| golden dust during rainy weather.
The ancestral history of asters is
like the story, to a great extent, OF
the sunflower, dandelion, chrysanthe-
mum, all called single flowers, although
they are dense clusters of tiny florets
That is why they are called composites
You can see what little good it would
| be to have each horet alone But
cooperation always pays. So, in the
massing of the fiorets. we get a much
more beautiful effect, and the chief
concern of the flower. that of attract
ing insects, is accomplished. The BAN
ners, those ribbons of color, are the
| landing platforms for the guests. They
lead the way to the nectar cup and
also cause the guest to touch the

am down here instead Of home at my
pond deep in the Green Forest, it is
because I am on vacation. I'm ex-

Which means, I suppose. that you

Bobby Coon.

The generation which came of age in the 1920s

taken its place in the social museum He told
his publishers that he was tempted to add
note to this volume, to the effect that he hoped
readers would not believe that the characters

by the author. He can assure you that in
dealing with them all he has persistently

dozens of characters who made those in Here
