that fascinating realm which touches on the intelligence, the spirituality, the mysticism, the psy- chic phenomena, the higher life of plants. In all this, the manifest independence of plant life; and purpose is convincingly apparent. The plants have their own lives to lead and their own evolutionary processes to carry on. They completed the conquest of the earth long before the first human being appeared on its surface. Out of approximately a hundred thousand spe- cies of flowering plants, it has been estimated that only two hundred and forty-seven render direct and important service to man, and of these, only about fifty-four are utilized by him to any great extent. While today it is no longer the fashion to be- lieve that plants were created for man's sole benefit, yet it cannot be denied that, because of their physical limitations and inferior intelligence, the plants frequently become very do- cile servants of the human race, thereby thriv- ing mightily and to their own great advantage. This is as it should be. It is a law of earthly life. The danger lies in the contempt which this serv- itude engenders in the consciouness of man, the [14]
master. The plants are inferiors but very won- derful inferiors. We should accord them the highest respect. We should accept our dominion over them as a favour of a beneficent Providence,— a priceless gift which it is criminal t© squander or misuse. |I5
