to be given is that the beginner should be given a simple flower or leaf. Afterward the more complex flora may be studied and drawn, from nature preferably. A daisy, a dande-

lion, or a pansy is better to begin with than a rose, a peony or a chrysanthemum.
Any Weed Offers Good Practice. Nothing is better than a twig with a leaf or two attached. When the natural flowers
are not to be had, artificial ones can be made to fulfill the purpose.
