What is that bowing its flamboyant
head to us from every side and byway?
Of course everyone knows that it is our
uncrowned national flower, tlie polite
goldtnrod (Solidago Yirgia-aurea). Tliev
all look about alike to the casual ob
server, but we will be, if not specialists,
at least amateur botanists this evening,
so we look a little closer and find at
hast four or five of tlie fifty-two species
of that genus. Their most noticeable
difference is in tlie leaf whorl—from four
to nine—and in the shape of their heads,
which range all the way front a spike
or rucene, to a spreading panacle. Again,
what xve thought was single flowers, on
closer examination, prox'C to be a num
ber of tiny flowers crowded together in
compact head. And tlie supposed petals
to lie what is known as ray flowers, en
circling the others, or disk flowers. From
its compact head x\-e know it to be of
the order, eompositae ( a very large order
embracing 9.COO species).
What are those liigli, liniby weeds cox - -
cretl with small white flowers, that we
see growing in great profusion in every
direction? ft is fleabane (Erigeron). It

What is this I've found here in the.
Weeds by the branch with clusters of
such beautiful large blue flowers? It is
the famed gentian (Geutiana; Gentian-
aceae—from Gentius, a king of Illyra,
who is said to have discovered its medi
cinal properties). Tt is otic of the most
beautiful as well as hardiest of our wild j
flowers. The gentian is known among j
the negroes as “Sampson snake-root." |
Now we are into the woods! How sub. I
limely impressive it seems! So calm and I
still. Save for the occasional thud of an I
acorn or nut, and the low, soft chirp I
ot a thrush as lie fits on the limb ol |
a near-by tree, bobbing his tail up and
liis head down, and guys us with an ex- i
pression of wonder and fear in his little 1
brown eyes, no sound or voice is heard
but the gentle lullaby of the falling
leaves. Why do they.fall so incessantly
when there isn't a breath of air stlring?
That is a question science has so far
failed to answer satisfactorily. Of course
it is easy to say that tlie leaf stalk is •
detached from the limb by a transverse
growth of tissue pr cells. But why that
transverse growth should take place, ;
ana just at this season of the yeai- is'n t
exactly understood.
The leaf is very simple in appearance,
yet -it is the most wonderful and Impor
