SAFETY RULES FOR PICKING WILD FLOWERS

 

First 

Do not pick all the flowers you see, but leave enough to furnish plenty of seeds. 

Second 

Always cut the flowers and take as little as possible of the leaf or leaf bearing shoot. 

Third 

Never disturb underground stems or roots. 

Fourth 

Flowers of any kind should not be gathered near walks or drives. 

Fifth 

Rare or unusual flowers found near a city should not be gathered, except for strictly scientific purposes.

 Sixth 

In gathering flowers from blooming shrubs or trees, take but little of the wood or leaf bearing shoot, and select the flowers from different parts of the plant.
