Througheut the years, the greatest destruction cf wild fiowers has been the clearig of the forests and land for farrns and habitations, sssisted by forest fires and the grazing of animais. Stil later, the want of thought on the part cf persons, particuisriy in the vicinity, of the larger centres of population, has hastened the possibiiity of wild flowers sharing the fate of the buffalo, the musk ox, the great suk, the carrier pig- eon and other wiid life, fer ai- ready some of the finest specimens in the woods have disappeared. Hence, the appeal of horticultural societies throughout Canada fer the preservatien of wild flowers. The preservatien of wiid flewers does flot mean that ne eue is aI- lowed te pick a bloom, but it does demand a little theught froni Use picker. For exampie, some wild flowers shouid net be picked at ail. Plants like the white triffium, Use fierai embiem of Ontario, are best ef t alone in ail the glory of their original setting, because these flowers cannot be picked without removing ail the foliage on which depends the maturig of Use buibous root fer Use foliowmng seasen's crop of flowers.
