SUMMER WILD FLOWERS 267 when we have grasped the fact that in the world of flowers or elsewhere, "there is no beauty apart from ; Study 38. Summer Wild Flowers The program of work for this study should include a trip to the field for collecting wild flowers and studying their characters and habits. All the showier sorts of wild flowers of one small locality should be observed, gathered and compared. They will be found in uncultivated places by the roadside and streamside and in the woods. They will show great differences in color and form and attractions to insect visitors. Many of their characters will appear curious and inexplicable if studied only indoors and apart from their environment; but in the field, when the day is bright and calm and insects-are abundant, one may see exactly what the most puzzling of floral structures are good for, by seeing their mechanism in action. The record of this study may consist of an annotated list of the flowers studied, illustrated with a few simple diagrams of flowers or clusters, etc., where possible. The notes should cover: kind of plant, manner and place of growth, sort of flower-clusters, of flower, its color, odor, and general attractiveness to visitors and means of attracting 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 Needham, James G.
