Having been taken natural size upon a fine8 X 10 plate, all the details are brought out with remarkableclearness. Note how well the peculiar markings on the leavesare defined, and how some of the latter are skilfully arrangedto form a background for a flower-head on this side of it. For plants having chalk-white flowers, as in the case of theTurtlehead (Chelone glabra), here shown in- Figure 5, it issometimes advisable to use some other kind of background—and for very obvious reasons.
