LESSON XXXIV.
FLOWERS
It will be easy and useful to learn something about the flowers that grow where you live. How many flowers can you mention by name? Which do you know at sight? Where would you go to find them?
Would you find them all growing in the same place? Which can live only in wet places? Which thrive best where there is but little moisture?
If we take a walk in the fields in the early spring, which flowers shall we be likely to see? Which later? What color are they? Which are fragrant? Which most beautiful? Which would you like for your flower vase? Which would you like to plant and care for in a box of earth or a garden-bed?
Can you find and name the parts of a plant--root, stem, leaves, bud, flower? Learn the uses of each part.
