The hepatica is a perennial and grows only in rich, moist woods. It is so adapted to the shade, that it dies if transplanted to sunny places. The leaves which have passed the winter under the snow are rich purple beneath, and mottled green and purple above, mak- ing beautiful objects for water-color drawings. The new leaves are put forth in spring before the leaves of the trees create too much shade. In the fall, after the trees are bare, the leaves again become active. The roots are quite numerous and Embroidery design from, the hepatica. The Child's Own Book of Wild Flowers, drawn by Evelyn Mitchell. LESSON CXVII The Hepatica Leading thought—The hepatica flower buds are developed in the fall, so as to be ready to blossom early in the spring. This plant lives only in moist and shady woods. Method—The pupils should have the questions before they go into the woods to gather spring flowers, and should answer them individuall)^. However, the hepatica plant may be potted early in the spring, and the flowers may be watched during their development, and studied in the schoolroom. Observations—i. Where do you find the hepaticas? Do you ever find them in the open fields? Do you ever find them in the pine woods? 2. How do the leaves look in early spring? Sketch in color one of these old leaves. How do the young leaves look? Are the leaves that come up late in the spring as fuzzy as those that appear early? What is the diflierence in texture and color between the leaves that were perfected in the fall and those that appear in the spring? 3. Find a hepatica plant before it begins to blossom. Look, if possi- ble, at its very center. Describe these little flower buds. When were they formed?.
