the blooming plants from remote
parts of the world, portrayed against
their natural background, cause one
to gasp at their loveliness. One of
cyclamen plant, collected in
Turkey, has received the award of
merit of the British Horticultural
Society. Another of a scarlet pim-
perneA, with flowers an inch across,
is almost unbelievable both in its
beauty and size.
From 1914 to 1925 Mr.. Balls saw
field service with Quaker rellet
units in France, the Balkans and
Russia.
His inseparable friend" on all of
his expeditions to the farthermost
corners of the earth is his Ameri-
can-made portable typewriter, which
has successfully withstood tumbles
down mountain sides and being
stepped upon by recalcitrant beasts
of burden.

straightway begin planning the next
one."
In no instance has the Unsuitable
curiosity" of the borr 7cientist led
him into more extraordinary per-
sonal experience than it did in
Northeastern Turkey. Having read
the incident recorded by Xenophon
of the wholesale poisoning of his
troops in this region due to their
having regaled themselves upon a
honey made from wild azaleas-M:.
Balls decided to have a try at some
OF it himself, to test out the veracity
of ancient Xenophon's account. The
people of this community are en-
tirely immune to any of its ex-
traordinary qualities, but Mr.. Balls
not only experienced dizziness and
nausea from its effects, but actual
blindness for several hours, finally
having to be left by his companions
alongside a road while they went
for aid.
From that time on" Mr.. Balls
said, Il have been 100 per cent for
old Xenophon as an hisvvrian of
impossible veracity."
With the exception of the expe-
dition to Mexico and South Amer
ica, Mr.. Balls previous plant-col-
lecting trips have been based upon
the well-known English private
syndicate plan. BY this means in
dividuals and institutions subscribe
to the expedition fund and receive
in return proportionate amounts of
whatever material is collected.
During the course of his far-flung
travels In search of rare plant
specimens he has also collected rep
tiles for the British Museum.
For six years he was associated
with Clarence Elliott. one of the
best-known Alpine nurserymen in
England, and the reptillery of the
London Zoo is his conception and
design.
Finds Many New Species.
Mr.. Balls has to his credit the
collection of from 40 to so new
species of plants. seven in Morocco
and from Is to 30 in Eastern Turkey.
He has collected unusual bulbs
and seeds for distribution to the
Royal Botanic Gardens in Edin-
burgh, Scotland; the New York Bo-
tanic Gardens, Golden Gate Park,
San Francisco: the University of
California and for many private
American gardens.
His collecting has likewise ex-
tended to several hitherto unknown
species Of snails for the Rev. H. e.
j. Biggs, famous member of the
British Genealogical Society, and
new species Of beetles for a French
entomologist. A beetle in Morocco
bears his name for his contribution
to science in this particular field
of collecting.
DR.. w. Balfour Gorlay, retired
British medical officer, has accom-
panied Mr.. Balls on several of his
expeditions. notably to Asia Minor,
Mexico and South America.
Recorded in Drawings.
The wife of Mr.. Balls was a mem
Der Of the collecting party through
Mexico, making drawings in color
OF rare charm and interest of many
of the wild flowers of Mexico. Often
these drawings were made at high
attitudes in the freezing cold of
little adobe huts with no windows
and the only sketching light COM
ing from their open doorways. Very
often, too, Mr.. and Mrs. Balls eyes
were nearly put out by the smoke
from the little tin brazier in the
center of the huts, which consti-
tuted their only means of heat.
