Alexander says: and she, of all people, should be able to speak with authority on the sub- ect. : For eleven years Miss Alexander has devoted her time to the collection and preservation of wild flowers. For flow- ers that once could be plucked at the “back door” of San I'rancisco she finds it necessary now to travel miles and miles to obtain. “Nine years ago,” she said, “ cream caps grew in great profusion all around San Francisco. The most beautiful ones that I have ever seen were near Holy Cross Cemetery. I have picked dozens of them in former years as large as a dollar. But now you can scarcely find a plant, and the blossoms are small and of an inferior quality. A great many other varieties of flowers that once were plentiful have disap- peared entirely. “I think the gridironing of the ad- off on little jaunts on the numerous car lines that have lately sprung into existence are to blame for the passing away of the flowers. All the seques- tered spots and nooks around the city are now reached by car lines, which once only the pedestrian could enjoy. “The people, instcad of picking the flowers carefully, pluck them with ruthless hands, often pulling up the en- tire plant by the roots. This wholesale uprooting of the plants is responsible for their disappearance. Such action is criminal in the eyes of flower lovers. Some effort should be made to stop this vandalism or wild flowers around San mfilsco ‘Wwill be entirely a thing of the Miss Alexander has the finest collec- tion of wild flowers in the State. The method by which she preserves them is a carefully guarded secret. For eleven years, with the aid of a skilled chemist, Miss Alexander has experimented until now she has a chemical process by usual pressed flowers, retain their freshly plucked, lifelike color. The California poppy is the only wild flower for the preservation of which Miss Alexander has not a perfect pre- servative formula. Despite constant experimenting, she has not been able as vyet to find a process that will preserve the poppy in its natural form and bril- lancy of color for more than two years. Miss. Alexander guards the process by which she preserves the flowers, be- cause the financial returns which she expects from her long years of labor and experimenting would be greatly lessened were the methods to become public property. For the benefit of those who are purposing to make col- lections of wild flowers, Miss Alexander prepared a list of the varieties found around San Francisco, the best time of the year to search for them and the ltocalmes in which they grow most pro- usely. which the wild flowers can be preserved 80 _as to keep their natural color. flower is treated differently This information will be of value to the new ‘“walking clubs” that have 31le:mtul in the immediate | cause of the scarcity and disappearance lcu“&t tollts reg[g;:rer;entu.
