Fig.47 - Scribner's Panic-Grass as it grows, Panicum Scribnerianum.
Make friends with these and with other grasses. As you find them learn their names just as you would learn the names of new playmates. Take the grasses home, show them to your father and to your mother; if they do not know their names, carry them to school and ask your teacher about them. In case she cannot tell you, go to the public library with your grasses and persuade the librarian at the desk to help you find their pictures and names in some of her books. All grasses have names, so keep asking and hunting until you know what to call them. When you know their names you will be glad to see your friends, the pretty green grasses, whenever you find them.
Fig.49 - You will run across these anywhere.
In [Chapter XVIII], which tells how to make a burdock-burr house, you will find more about grasses.
