Excerpt from Wild Flower Children: The Little Playmates of the FairiesBut no matter where you go, across the sands of the desert, or to the tops of the tallest mountain peaks, there are always wild flowers of most delicate beauty growing alone, but not lonely, never drooping or complaining, but brightening their own little spot because God put them there.In the North, on a railroad trip that I once took in the late May-time, I noticed that the roadsides were painted in a beautiful blending of rose and purple, and I wondered what little artist was doing it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A seed, little friends, is really a plant or a tree all wrapped up in a little brown bundle. If you plant it in the ground it will grow, and when it is old enough it will bear fruit, because God has made it so. Among all the children of Mother Nature, the fruits and vegetables are probably the most useful to us. Wherever we may go some of these little people are there before us, ready to help us by giving us food and to make life easy and joyous for us. In your Mother’s garden you will always find many familiar friends; in the fields the graceful Grain children will nod and beckon to you; in the orchard the Fruit children will peep out at you from their leafy homes; along the roadside the gay little Berries will give you a friendly greeting, and in the forest you will find the little wild Grapes climbing trees and playing hide and seek with the Bird children.
