"You'll have to wait just a minute, Bob." Bob sat down on the grass and began to hunt for four leaf clovers, an occupation of which he never tired. "Do you think Mr. Peabody opened your letter?" he asked abruptly. Betty paused in the operation of untying her shoe. "Who else would?" she said thoughtfully.
From the South returned that opera troupe whose manager is never in despair, whose tenor never sulks, whose prima donna never fails, and in the orchard bona fide matinees were held, to which buttercups and clovers crowded in their prettiest spring hats, and verdant young blades twinkled their dewy lorgnettes, as they bowed and made way for the floral belles.
It has been suggested that moths may fertilise the clovers; but I doubt whether they could do so in the case of the red clover, from their weight not being sufficient to depress the wing petals. Hence we may infer as highly probable that, if the whole genus of humble-bees became extinct or very rare in England, the heartsease and red clover would become very rare, or wholly disappear.
Some people thought it strange there should be two pairs of twins in one house, but Nan said it was just like four-leaf clovers, that always grow in little patches by themselves. This morning the letter from Aunt Sarah, always a welcome happening, was especially joyous. "Do read it out loud," pleaded Flossie, when the blue envelope had been opened in the sewing room by Mrs. Bobbsey.
It is the absence of lime that permits such weeds to maintain their reputation for good fighting qualities. The Clovers. Red clover can make growth in some soils that have a lime deficiency.
There was a wide strip of turf on each side of the road bejewelled with poppies and daisies, matted with yellow and white bedstraws, carpeted with clovers, and over all lay a coating of fine chalky dust, legacy of passing cart and carriage. The boy was very hot and very dusty, and a little sleepy.
In the geranium, the stamen and the pistil in the same flower mature at different times. In some species, as among the lilies, the style is so long that the pollen could not fall upon it without artificial aid. Some flowers are so constructed that they can be fertilized by certain kinds of insects and by no others; among these are the orchids and our clovers and milk-weeds.
The choice is governed entirely by local conditions, except that leguminous plants peas, beans, vetches, clovers, etc. do take nitrogen from the atmosphere and can thus be grown with least injury and sometimes with a positive benefit to the fertility of the soil. Regular Bearing of Fruit Trees. How can trees be induced to bear regularly instead of bearing excessively on alternate years?
I presume something good will happen this year." "Perhaps Min will get through the preliminaries," was the rejoinder. "She won't pull through from any effort she makes herself. If her friends wish to see her graduate, they will be compelled to resort to something. Get her to pick four-leafed clovers and wear them in the toe of her shoe, possibly. That has been known to work where all else fails."
Then they all went out to supper. And such a supper as it was! The table was decorated with green four-leafed clovers, and gilt horseshoes, and black cats, and yellow new moons. And every one had a little rabbit's foot, mounted like a charm, for a souvenir; and also a bright lucky penny of that very year.
