Wild flowers and where they grow . It is an early spot : a coppiceof oak and other trees protects it on the north ; the iron trackof the railroad and an embankment, curve around the lowerside where the sun shines all day ; and at the west are thosefantastic trunks and a hedge-row — a real hedge-row — whichmakes one think of England. It is a famous covert for birds. When they make the mis-take, which they often do, of arriving from the South too soon, they are sure to wait in that comfortable nook until it is timeto see about building their nests. And that is the earliest place to find a few of the first springflowers, such as meadow-rue. houstonia, whid-anemone andviolets. But I speak of it particularly on account of the spring-beauty. Somebody has described this dainty thing as com-posed mostly of water, and as being little more than acolored shadow. But that shadow is very pink, and distract-ingly pretty. If you look at it with a microscope, you will seethat it is made of pink hair-lines on a ground of faint pink.. THE SPRING-BEAUTY. 37 and dots of pink on almost invisible stamens — little bits ofcolor, and minute proportions ; but making a shape and flowerpresence incomparably lovely. It is said that those pencilled lines on the petals are honeyguides for insects. But what a diminutive insect it mustbe, and what an infinitesimal morsel of honey that could bestored in a nectary which is such a mere speck of itself ! It certainly is the smallest spring-beauty that ever was seen.And all its parts are so fragile looking, its outlines so delicate 1As a flower it is not so winsome as the Linnsea ; but there isa character of unsubstantiality about the whole plant; the leafand stem are almost as bodiless as the blossom. The perfec-tion in every part, the completeness, the matchless finish, arewhat make it so unique. And then the suppleness, the veryair of it, so blithe and debonair ! that is what one can nevertoo much admire. The stalk looks hardly stout enough to b
