Sanguinaria treated in this way will generally so far anticipate
its natural time of flowering as to present you the smiling,
perfumed faces of its blossoms while the fields may yet be covered
with snow.
But this is not the end. After these snowy blossoms have performed
their mission of beauty, they will drop off upon the carpet of
moss, and, in a short time, will be succeeded by the leaves of the
plant, which are large and irregular, but very beautiful, and each
leaf is supported by a stem which comes directly from the ground,
giving the impression of a miniature tree. A large dish of these
little trees springing from the moss makes the Fairy Forest, and an
imaginative girl, or possibly boy, well steeped in fairy lore, may
imagine many wonderful things to happen herein.
If you have little friends; or relatives who live in the city and
cannot go into the woods to look for the sanguinaria, you can
easily pack a pasteboard box full of the roots and moss, and send
it to them by express, or, if it is not too heavy, by mail.
