They are interesting in showing how one group of plants can, when cultivated, develop along different lines ; the Cabbage stores its food in the leaves ; Brussels Sprouts in lateral branches, Cauliflower in the inflorescence. Mustard is cultivated for its seed. Order Capparide.^. This order resembles the Crucifera; in the 4 sepals in 2 whorls, 4 petals. The stamens are sometimes 6 as in Cruciferpe, but vary from 4 to many. The ovary is formed of 2 carpels meeting at their edges with parietal placentation, but there is no false partition or replum. The order may be recognized by the long stalk or gynophore which extends the ovary beyond the perianth. The stamens also may be raised on the stalk. Herbs, shrubs, or trees with simple or compound leaves, often with sticky hairs. Fruit a capsule or berry. A. Fruit a capsule— Gynandropsis.—Stamens 6. Capsule pod-like, i-celled, many-seeded. The stem axis is lengthened between the petals and stamens, and also between the stamens and ovary. Herbs with compound leaves, the upper sessile, the lower on long Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Stoneman, Bertha.
