".Biography of tne riant
1 The Water which the plant imbibes by its
roots becomes sap in the stem, and circulates m
ever? part as the blood circulates in the animal
frame. The leaves, by their broad thin forms,
serve as lungs, to bring all the sap which pisses
through them into contact with the air and bgnt.
1 By thia means the sap is changed into a
nourishing food, fitted to sustain the growth ot
ibe -plant in every part. -Thus the leaves are
designed, not only as an ornamental robe, but as
organs of breathing and digestion
In the second stage of growth, when the plant
depends no longer upon the seed for nourishment,
it goes on increasing in stature and multiplying
itleaves and branches. It now consists ol three
parts ; namely, root, stem and leaves. These arc
The third stage of plant-life is the period oi
finwerimr. Before this period, all it activity
waadevoted to its own nourishment and growth.

of its own kind after it upon the earth, according

the fruit-bcariug. The flowers have gradually

ceived the quickening pollen, remains in its place,
holds fast all the nourishing mauer wu.ni iuu
tinucs to flow into it through the flower-stem,
grows,; and finally ripens into the perfected fruit
arid seed.
The fifth and last stage in the biography of the
plant is its h'hrrnat !wt (winter's sleep), or .its
death. If the event of flowering and fruit -bear-in"-
occur within the first or second year of the
life of the plant, it is generally followed by its
Rneedv death. In all other cases it is followed
by a state of -needful repose, wherein it is com
monly stripped of its leaves, and gives few, if any,
indications of life, until awaked, with renewed
vigor, in the following Spring. Hoot?' Ohject
