"No, but here is a seed pod," said Uncle Robert. "It looks like the seed of the geranium that grows in the garden. Perhaps that is what gave it the name." [Illustration: Wild geranium.] "I have a flower that you haven't, Susie," said Mrs. Leonard, holding it up for them to see. "Oh," cried Susie, "a yellow lady's slipper! I didn't know they were out yet. Where did you find it?" "I picked it on the bank near the creek while you were talking about the trees," replied her mother. "I wish I could find a pink one," said Susie, looking around. "Isn't it too early for them?" asked Uncle Robert. "They come about the same time as the yellow ones," said Donald, "but we don't find very many of them." "I like the Indian name for that flower," said Mr. Leonard. "Do you mean moccasin flower, father?" asked Frank. "I like that too." [Illustration: Yellow lady's slipper.] "Why don't we call it that?" asked Donald. |
