Write and learn:

The sunflower has—The sunflower—The sunflower has—
A strong stalk.Grows from seed.Small flowers in its disk.
A large disk.Contains honey.Oblong seeds.

[[Page 108.]

1. Roses are of many kinds and many colours. Most of them are sweet-scented. Some rose-bushes do not grow very high. Others grow up as high as our houses.

2. Roses have thorns on their stems. Wild roses have many thorns. Wild roses are small—have only five leaves—but they are very pretty.

3. When they die they leave berries, called hips, which make good food for the birds in winter. There are seeds in them.
