34380Is the pursuit of the fox a surer proof of honest intentions than the pursuit of natural history?
34380May not a flower- lover occasionally sow his"wild oats"?
34380Then its hue-- was there ever tint more elusive, more indefinable, than that of its many petals?

34380V BOTANESQUE What is it?
34380WHERE should a flower- lover begin his story if not from the sea shore?
34380Was ever such blindness of eye, such hardness of heart?
34380Was there ever such a lying legend?
34380We were in the middle of a field of vast extent, when I heard my companion asking anxiously:"Is_ that_ one?"
34380What did the mountain do?"

34380Why must so quaintly charming a flower be so barbarously named that one''s jaw is well- nigh cracked in articulating it?
34380Why so?
34380Would it have detracted from its value, if, as indeed may have happened, it had been purposely sown on the beach?
34380Yet still the Poet''s heart was nerved With Phantoms to dispute:"Then tell me, why is Game preserved?"

45930At first sight it seems as if this was a mistake of Nature; why should so much of the surface be occupied by this useless vegetable?
45930But how does the root learn that the water is there and turn away from its original track to find it?
45930But, one might ask, how is the pollen of its flowers carried?
45930Could anything be more beautiful than these little graceful red, yellow, or brown sprays?
45930Have they some extraordinary sense of the direction of the points of the compass?
45930How did flowers manage to produce all these attractions?
45930How did the stem get down to such a depth below the surface?
45930How do animals recognize these particular plants as being dangerous whilst all their allies are harmless?
45930How has this been brought about?
45930How is it that the plant knows the time to produce its spines, and the time to refrain from doing so?
45930How is it that their leaves are always at the level of the ground?
45930How then was the pollen of the first flowers carried?
45930How, then, does it manage to live?
45930In the_ Odyssey_, the hero goes to Ephyra( Epirus?)
45930Now why is this?
45930Those seaweeds were called by Horace_ Algæ inutiles_, or useless seaweeds; but are they useless?
45930Were these hillsides of Ararat or thereabouts, the first place where man sowed and reaped a harvest?
45930What are they doing, and are they of any use?
45930What happens next?
45930What is that dark green feathery plume?
45930What plant can stand such conditions?
45930What produces these changes?
45930What was the first green plant?
45930What was the first tree like?
45930What wild plants, then, would have been available for his experiments?
45930What, then, is the climate of scrub?
45930When one comes to ask, Why do those few plants out of all the vast multitude of the vegetable world possess such extraordinary virtues?
45930When the eyes of man first beheld Britain, what sort of country was this of ours?
45930When was the surface of the earth first covered with flowers?
45930Where are the eggs of these insects to be stored up so that they can last through the winter without injury?
45930Where are the tidy roadsides and beautifully embanked rivers that we see to- day?

45930Why does it do so?
45930Why is it that, as Disraeli has pointed out, civilization, culture, science, and religion had their origins in the desert?
45930Why should these delicate and exquisite shades be wasted on such minute and scarcely distinguishable forms?
45930Why, for instance, should old women always carry a sprig of Southernwood to the kirk in their Bibles?
45930Why, however, should a twig of Rowan(_ Pyrus Aucuparia_) be so often placed above the door of a Highland cottage?
45930Why?
45930Would it be possible to again cover our peat- mosses and moorlands with forests of Conifers, Pines, Larches, and Spruces?
7234And what is it that makes us familiar with them?
7234Are all mutations to be considered as limited to such periods?
7234Are the older ones now in a better condition than at the outset?
7234Are these types to be considered as elementary species, or only as individual differences?
7234Are they to be expected to be equal to the unique quality of the parent, or perhaps to be the same as the average of the whole unselected race?
7234Are we to conclude therefore that the main strain has died out?
7234But what is a prototype?
7234But why should they have done so, especially in cases of recent changes?
7234Could it be affected to such a degree as to gradually lose the inactive quality, and cease to be a double race?
7234Could not the plants of the second locality have arisen from seeds transported from the first?
7234Could the mutation be repeated?
7234ELEMENTARY SPECIES LECTURE II ELEMENTARY SPECIES IN NATURE What are species?
7234Had it been present, though dormant in the original sample of seed?
7234Had it commenced to mutate after its introduction into Europe, some time ago, or was it already previously in this state?
7234Had the germ of the mutation lain hidden through all this time?
7234Have they done so?
7234Have they really been gradually improved during the centuries of their existence?
7234How long had it been so?
7234How many different conceptions are conveyed by the terms constancy and variability?
7234How may this character have originated?
7234How[ 568] great is the chance for a single individual to be destroyed in the struggle for life?
7234If a distinct mutation from a given species is once possible, why should it not occur twice or thrice?
7234If we are right in this general conception, we may ask further, what is to be the exact place of our group of new evening- primroses in this theory?
7234In other words, would it have been possible to attain an average of 20 rows in a single experiment?
7234Is it the minute inspection of the features of the process in the case of the evening- primroses?
7234Is it the systematic study of species and varieties, and the biologic inquiry into their real hereditary units?
7234Is the mutability of our evening- primroses temporary, or is it a permanent condition?
7234Is the number of such germs to be supposed to be limited or unlimited?
7234It has frequently succeeded for practical purposes, why should it not succeed as well for purely scientific investigation?
7234Now who can assure us that the single root of a given beet is an average representative of the partial variability?
7234Or are we to base our hopes and our methods on broader conceptions of nature''s laws?
7234Or can the same mutation have been repeated at different times and in distant localities?
7234Or had an entirely new creation taken place during my continuous endeavors?
7234Or is it perhaps concealed among the throng, being distinguished by no peculiar character?
7234Or is the theory of descent to be our starting- point?
7234Perhaps as their more or less immediate result?
7234The first point, is the question, which seeds become double- flowered and which single- flowered plants?
7234Was it to be ascribed to some latent cause which might be operative more than once?
7234Was the observed mutation to be explained by a common cause with the other cases recorded by field- observations?
7234Was there some hidden tendency to mutation, which, ordinarily weak, was strengthened in my cultures by some unknown influence?
7234What are species and what are varieties?
7234What are the links which bind them together?
7234What has to be ascertained on such occasions to give them scientific value?
7234What is to guide us in the choice of the material?
7234What is to guide us in this new line of work?
7234When and how did it originate?
7234Why then are they not met with more often?
7234Will all of them do so, or only part of them, and how large a part?
7234Will they keep true to the reverted character, or return to the characters of the plant which bears the retrograde branch?
7234Would it be possible to obtain any imaginable deviation from the original type, and to reach independency from further selection?
7234Would the race become changed thereby?

11723''How old art thou?"
11723A very good general idea,continued Miss Harson,"but perhaps Clara can tell us something more particular about the elms?"
11723And are n''t its chestnuts just splendid?
11723And can people really go and see the very same Mount of Olives now?
11723And could n''t the poor little mouse get out again?
11723And did you think they were hung all over the Lombardy poplars?
11723And do they stay in the woods there all the time?
11723And do you notice how fragrant they are? 11723 And is it for me you intend the cherries, my dear child?"
11723And now Malcolm?
11723And they float it down the rivers on rafts, do n''t they?
11723And was n''t it true, Miss Harson?
11723And what is the particular name for these tree- blossoms?
11723And what is vulcanite?
11723And where does the olive- oil come from?
11723And why are they called_ deciduous?_asked Malcolm.
11723And why could n''t_ you_ say it before Clara put it into your head by saying''Overshoes?
11723And why is it boiled?
11723Are apples mentioned anywhere in the Bible?
11723Are n''t they good to eat?
11723Are snakes ever pretty?
11723Are the leaves like those of our cedar trees?
11723Are the stems all made of India- rubber?
11723Are the stems of the maple trees made of maple- sugar?
11723Are the trees just in one particular place, then?
11723Are there any more kinds of palm trees?
11723Are there any more kinds of pine trees?
11723Are there any more of the walnut family?
11723Are there any of them here?
11723Are there ever many peach trees growing in one place,asked Clara,"like the apple trees in Mr. Grove''s orchard?"
11723Are there gypsies here, Miss Harson?
11723Are there real silkworms on''em? 11723 Are they the same as oak- apples?"
11723Are willow baskets made of willow trees?
11723Are you going to tell us a story, Miss Harson?
11723Are you looking up into the sky for them? 11723 But can figs be naughty, Miss Harson?"
11723But do n''t bees make honey from the lime trees that grow in this country, too, Miss Harson?
11723But do n''t walnuts come from California? 11723 But how can people live in the hut,"asked Malcolm,"if the charcoal is burned in it?
11723But how do people manage to climb such a tree as that,asked Malcolm,"to get the dates?
11723But how do they make the baskets?
11723But is n''t it a shame,said Clara,"to spoil the maple- sugar by making the trees into chairs and things?"
11723But is n''t it strange, Miss Harson, that the Indians and the Britons did n''t get drowned going out in such little light boats?
11723But that is n''t true, is it?
11723But that is n''t_ preserves_, is it?
11723But what did they do it for?
11723But what do they want to find it for,asked Malcolm,"when it kills people?"
11723But why is it called honey- locust?
11723But why is n''t it dark and ugly, like the waterproofs?
11723But why were n''t they saved,asked Clara,"when people thought so much of them?"
11723Can you tell us something more that is done with it, Miss Harson?
11723Could n''t we have a tent, Miss Harson,asked Clara,"and try it?"
11723Did it come from England?
11723Did n''t people use to worship oak trees,asked Malcolm--"people who lived ever so long ago?"
11723Did n''t we have fine times picking''em up?
11723Did people always know about India- rubber?
11723Did they eat''em?
11723Did you_ really_?
11723Do almond trees and peach trees look alike?
11723Do fig trees grow wild?
11723Do n''t they grow in this country?
11723Do n''t we all look, almost the first thing, at the tree by the dining- room window?
11723Do n''t you remember, Miss Harson, that sometimes Edith and I can have only one pear divided between us at dessert because they are so large?
11723Do n''t you remember, Miss Harson,said Edith,"the little tree that I thought was on fire and how frightened I was?"
11723Do n''t you, Miss Harson?
11723Do oak trees ever have apples on''em?
11723Do people ever eat the horse- chestnut?
11723Do pigs ever eat the nuts, Miss Harson?
11723Do prunes really grow on trees, Miss Harson?
11723Do the bees make honey in the trunk?
11723Do the corks that come in bottles grow on it?
11723Do the flowers grow like real necklaces?
11723Do they eat''em instead of bread?
11723Do they have thorns on''em?
11723Do they make holes in the tree for it, as they do for maple- sap?
11723Do they mash''em, like making apples into cider?
11723Do they, Miss Harson?
11723Do willow trees grow everywhere?
11723Do you think we''d like them as well as ours, Miss Harson?
11723Does it grow up from the ground or down from the air?
11723Does n''t the beech tree have nuts?
11723Does that mean Indians, Miss Harson?
11723Does that mean that people can sit inside the tree?
11723Does the Norway spruce come from Norway?
11723Does the apple tree move its head, Miss Harson?
11723Does the sugar come right out of the tree when people tap on it with a hammer?
11723Have n''t we''most come to the end of the trees?
11723Have we any maple- sugar trees?
11723Have we any trees that look like vases, Miss Harson?
11723Have you ever been to a sugar- camp, Miss Harson?
11723Have you so soon forgotten about the real insect- crickets, dear?
11723How about ice- cream?
11723How can people tell when there is any camphor inside the tree?
11723How can that be possible?
11723How can you remember everything so, Miss Harson?
11723How could we refuse a few cherries,said Caroline,"to the man that sheds his blood in our defence?
11723How do they make the cloth?
11723How do you like these pretty quince trees?
11723How high do you think these trees are, Miss Harson?
11723How high does it grow, Miss Harson?
11723How long will it be before they are ripe?
11723How many of them do you wear over your shoulders at once?
11723How_ could_ you? 11723 I hope you do n''t mind our trespassing on your grounds?"
11723I should like to have some of all the trees,replied Clara,"because then we could study about them better.--Wouldn''t you, Miss Harson?"
11723I should like to know,exclaimed Clara, after some thought,"why a tree is called_ locust_, when a locust is such a disagreeable insect?"
11723I thought it was wicked,said she,"to cut off flowers from fruit trees?
11723I thought they grew all over that country?
11723I wonder how the tree got that name?
11723I wonder if all the trees will be so interesting?
11723I wonder what that species has to say for itself?
11723I wonder,said Malcolm,"if the bark is like birch- bark?"
11723I wonder,said Malcolm,"if there is anything else that can be done with the willow?"
11723Is anything done with the bark?
11723Is it a man who has palm trees or who sells dates? 11723 Is it any queerer,"asked her governess,"than to make it from leaves?
11723Is it possible,said he,"that you are the daughter of the mayor of Rebenheim?
11723Is it''the Mount of Olives''?
11723Is n''t it funny,said Edith, laughing,"to go and get their breakfasts from a_ tree_?
11723Is n''t it wicked to kill the poor little birds?
11723Is n''t it_ catkins_?
11723Is n''t that silly?
11723Is n''t that the tree that smells so in summer?
11723Is n''t there something about that in the Bible, Miss Harson?
11723Is that only one tree?
11723Is that what our cedar- chests are made of to keep the moths from our winter clothes?
11723Is that_ true_?
11723Is the red birch really red, Miss Harson?
11723Is there any story about it, Miss Harson?
11723Is there any story about the ash?
11723Is there anything more about hickory trees?
11723Is there anything to tell about the spruce tree?
11723Is_ that_ a mulberry too?
11723Like India- rubber?
11723Miss Harson,asked Clara, with a perplexed face,"what are catkins?"
11723Miss Harson,asked Clara,"do people cut down real cherry trees to make the pretty red furniture like that in your room?"
11723Miss Harson,asked Clara,"why are horse- chestnuts_ called_''horse- chestnuts''?
11723Miss Harson,asked Edith, as the talk seemed to have come to an end,"is n''t there any more about apple trees?
11723Miss Harson,asked Edith, very earnestly,"is n''t the palm tree in the Bible?"
11723Miss Harson,asked Edith, with great earnestness,"has each of our hairs got a number on it?
11723Miss Harson,said Clara,"when people talk about_ weeping_ willows, what do they mean?
11723Miss Harson,said Clara,"wo n''t you tell us, please, how they get the caoutch-- whatever it is-- and make it into India- rubber?"
11723Miss Harson,said Malcolm,"what is the upas tree like, and why is it called_ deadly_?"
11723Not the orange, I hope?
11723Oh, was it you?
11723Oh,exclaimed Edith,"was n''t that dreadful?"
11723Perhaps,said Miss Harson,"our little invalid will not care to hear about trees this evening?"
11723Put what does he do when there is no fresh fruit on them?
11723Shall we have some figs now, by way of variety?
11723So Edie''s''loaves of bread''are green?
11723So they are like feathers?
11723That seems easy enough,said Malcolm,"but how do they make it into gutta- percha?"
11723The kind of olives that papa likes to eat at dinner, and that you and I_ do n''t_ like, Miss Harson?
11723There are no lime trees here, are there?
11723This is n''t a pine tree, is it?
11723Was n''t that dreadful?
11723Was n''t that splendid?
11723Was n''t that wicked, Miss Harson?
11723Well, dear,said Miss Harson, coming to the upper window from which an eager head was thrust,"what is it that you wish me to see?"
11723Well,observed Malcolm,"I do n''t want half an apple.--But, Miss Harson, do they ever have''pear- howlings''in England?"
11723Were there any Indians there, Miss Harson?
11723Were those cherries like ours?
11723Were those weeping willows that we saw to- day?
11723What are oak-_galls_, Miss Harson?
11723What are pitch- knots?
11723What are prickly- pears?
11723What are you thinking about so seriously, Clara?
11723What color are the flowers, Miss Harson?
11723What did my little Edith see when she looked out of the window?
11723What do you notice about them?
11723What does a''palmer''mean, Miss Harson?
11723What does a_ wild_ olive tree mean, Miss Harson?
11723What is the matter, children?
11723What is''a howling crop,''Miss Harson?
11723What kept it from turning into stone too?
11723What kind grow in_ our_ woods?
11723What kind of chestnuts,asked Clara,"are those great big ones, like horse- chestnuts, that they have in some of the stores?
11723What makes it look so_ yellow_ over there, Miss Harson?
11723What tree comes next, Miss Harson?
11723What was the matter?
11723What''s the use of cones, any way?
11723What''s the use,asked Malcolm,"of calling a tree such a name as_ mocker- nut_?
11723When it is not the season for nuts?
11723Where do the real figs grow?
11723Where does slippery elm come from?
11723Who can repeat some words from the New Testament about this mountain?
11723Who put it there, I should like to know, on_ our_ land?
11723Why does n''t the man shoot''em?
11723Why, I thought,said Clara,"that silkworms always lived on mulberry- leaves?"
11723Why, do you not remember our talk about silkworms?
11723Why,_ we_ have only one,exclaimed little Edith,"and we do n''t want any more.--Do we, Clara?"
11723Will it grow then?
11723Wo n''t you have a story for us this evening, Miss Harson?
11723Wo n''t you tell us about that, Miss Harson?
11723Would n''t it be nice,said Edith,"if some would float here?"
11723You, then,said she,"were the good angel that averted such a terrible misfortune from our family?"
11723_ Real_ pink trees?
11723*****"''Children, when in prayers and praises Loudly we with lips adore, While the heart no anthem raises, Are not we like those of yore?
11723*****"Is n''t it beautiful?"
11723--What is''the glory of Lebanon,''Miss Harson?"
11723Am I right or not when I give Caroline the credit, under God, of having saved my life?
11723And is n''t it camphor?"
11723Are they good to eat?"
11723But I think you all can tell me when the hemlock is prettiest?"
11723But did n''t you say, Miss Harson, that it''s always called basswood in our country?"
11723But do n''t figs ever grow in this country, Miss Harson?"
11723But do you know that we have left the apple and rose family now, and have come to the almond family?"
11723But he does n''t gnaw our trees, does he?"
11723But how do they get it out, Miss Harson?
11723But the children thought that hemlock was hemlock: how did it come to be spruce?
11723But what does it mean?"
11723Ca n''t we get some this spring, Miss Harson, before it''s all gone?"
11723Can not one of you tell me where there are some tall, narrow trees that look almost as if they had been cut out of wood and stuck there?"
11723Did n''t I see them first?"
11723Did not our Lord say something else about a fig tree?"
11723Did they have any in Maine where you were, Miss Harson?"
11723Do horses like''em?"
11723Do n''t they ever put their heads out the least bit, Miss Harson?"
11723Do the trees really cry?
11723Do they cut great holes in the trunk of the tree?"
11723Do you remember the cherries which you so kindly gave him?"
11723Does it not seem wonderful that the mighty Ruler of the universe should condescend to such small things?
11723Does it not seem wonderful to think of?
11723How did they escape the enemy?
11723I wonder if some one can tell me about it?"
11723I wonder if you would like to hear the story about it?"
11723In the first place, I should object very much to living in the tent with you, and how could you possibly live there alone?"
11723Is anything done with the bark?"
11723Is it good to eat?"
11723Is n''t that funny, Miss Harson?"
11723Is n''t that very queer, Miss Harson?"
11723Now who can tell_ me_ something about this tree?"
11723Perhaps you will kindly tell us of some of the uses to which charcoal is applied?"
11723Tell me,"said he, in a tone of deep emotion;"was not that little child an instrument in the hand of God to save me from death?
11723The children all laughed, for did n''t papa declare-- with_ such_ a sober face!--that they were eating him out of house and home in brown bread alone?
11723What do you notice about the smoother trees?"
11723What does it mean?"
11723What does that mean, Miss Harson?"
11723What is it, Miss Harson?"
11723What is it?"
11723What other colors can you call them?"
11723What was its name?"
11723Where are they, I should like to know?"
11723Where is there a tree on the grounds answering this description, Malcolm?"
11723Who loves to be called''Little Sunshine''?"
11723Why ca n''t they take those that do n''t?"
11723Why could n''t you say''India- rubber''?"
11723Why do n''t they, Miss Harson, instead of getting killed?"
11723Why_ would_ people always laugh when there was nothing to laugh at?
11723Will you tell us something about it?"
11723Wo n''t these make apples?"
11723Would n''t you like it, Miss Harson?"
11723[ Illustration: IN THE EASY CHAIR]"Are there any poplars at Elmridge?"
11723_ THE MAPLES._"The pink trees next, I suppose,"said Malcolm,"since we have had the yellow ones?"
11723and can we see''em?"
11723called out Clara, in great excitement, as she caught up with her governess on a run;"has n''t Edie poisoned herself?
11723exclaimed Clara, in surprise;"does sago really grow on a tree?"
11723exclaimed Clara;"did you ever see any that was written on?"
11723exclaimed her audience;"could any tree be as old as that?"
11723exclaimed three voices at once;"what is that?
11723said Miss Harson, laughing;"what shall I do with you?
11723what''s the matter with Edie now?"
