32_147 [Barstow 2100 feet] April 11, 1916 Mrs. G.F. Grant writes from Columbia to say she has an Anemone she can_t place in the Flora of California and _does not my Flora contain all our anemones?_ I reply: _It is not at all unlikely that your anemone is new or new to California. New things will be found here for centuries. The greatest purpose of any Flora is to stimulate work and interest in our wonderful vegetation. If the subject could be exhausted in a book then all would henceforth be dead and dry. Shakespeare nor Milton nor Darwin exhausted anything or completed anything. They only started living fires which will burn as long as the race shall last._ -Rained rather heavily today. |
