Text Appearing Before Image:
d. There Is, moreover, a great dealof intellectual pleasure to be derived from seeing this littleplant growing in its native locations. Many of our gay-flow-ering plants will only deign to exhibit their charms in avery limited circle of high society, where they arc petted andpampered. But this little fern, like a good angel, goes forthover the wide world, seeking out the cold, cheerless spots whichare despised and left In utter loneliness by its gayly coloredcompanions, and decks them with an elegant and chaste beautywhich even the more aristocratic members of the floral kingdommight envy. If any poet wishes to find an emblem of universallove, and of charity to the poor and forsaken, he cannot certainlychoose anything better befitting the Idea than our EnglishMaiden-Hair. Explanation ok the Plate. —i. Complete plant from a specimen gathered in Massachu-setts. — 2. Leaflet enlarged, showing upper surface. — 3. Leaflet enlarged, showinglower surface and sporangia.
