Natures Children
Moss Pink
(Phlox subulata)

The roots anchor themselves into
the soil and hold fast to the place
gained. Seeds drop to the ground
and get busy.
The calyx has five tiny teeth, the
corolla is salver-shaped with five
spreading lobes. There are five
stamens inserted on the corolla tube
and the style is three -lobed.
Usually the stem Is short and
tufted like mats with many branches
and there Is an abundance of
pointed evergreen leaves that grow
in groups at each point along the
stem. Each blossom mods from a
solitary stem and the dark eyes of
the flowers seem almost to wink at
the butterflies that come to dine.
There are some long -tongued bees
that are especially fond of dropping
in for nectar and there have been
some brilliantly clad flies seen en-
joying a refreshing drink, and in
their desire for this treat, have
transferred pollen for the hostess.
Entomologists have ever sought
the port of wild flowers to find beau
tiful specimens Of insects. And
botanists seeking the lovely flowers
have come to appreciate all the
charm and wonders ready for their
enjoyment. The plants have much
to give, as do their guests.
Moss pinks are considered an old
fashioned flower, but like so many
things that were enjoyed in the
long ago, they are coming back that
the younger generation may have
pleasure in them, too. The first moss
pinks transferred to grandmother
garden are in their heyday of popu-
larity today, and no matter what
has been accomplished for their
descendants, the pinks or ground
phlox are not bit more charming.
But we are eager to have all men,
bers make themselves at home in
our wild-flower garden where many

IiShed.

carpet of moss pinks. She exhibited
vast stretches of brilliant and deli
cate shades of purple, pink, rose,
lavender and pinkish white, for only
the birds and insects to see. Her
human children found them as they
spread over boulders, hillsides and
sandy places in the open spaces of
the sunlit woods.
In Central Park, New York, there
are great rocks cloaked in a flower
wrap that is worth travelling far to
see.
Moss pinks are ardent travellers.
They do not need rich food and
they can get along beautifully with
out human assistance. What you
have to do is to plant some of the
seeds and let nature take its course.
