thoy meet them outside tholr native
haunts. A writer tells how ho trans
planted n stalk of goldcnrod from a

In his garden. It nourished luxuri-
antly and sent up many Btalks as
high as a man's head each crowned
with a great piumo of brilliant Bow-

beauty of tho plant and declared It
must havo cost Its owner somo dol-
