The flowers were fastened on the paper. with “T” book menders which could not .be seen a little ways off. We wrote the names of the ilowers on the paper. There were about 65 kinds of flowers. Some of them were the golden-thread, gentians, fall as- ters, ladies’ ‘tresses, turtle-head, wood- betony and trillium. Gold thread ‘is'a very pretiy wild plant. The stem is very slender and is .the color of gold. It has a smail white blossom which grows about 3 or 4 inches apart on the stem. It winds very tightly around other objests that happen to grow in its way, This plant grows in wet places. The collection was made in the Yast of September and I Think we found quite a large number for that vrme of the year..
