The primrose family has a smaller representation in this locale. The shooting star is of this tribe and is not only common here but in the Rockies and in Northeast Asia. The star-flower, which will soon be carpeting the woods, is also a primrose. The leaves of the shootingstar form a whorl at the base of the stem, whereas with the star-flower the whorl is several inches above the ground. Our meadows, those that ¢ are left, are a fairyland in the Spring although one misses the pocls of baby blue eyes that were along the old years ago.

WILDLIFE IN S. F. PARK Most of the wild animals which make their home in San Francisco’s famous Golden Gate Park find quarters most to their lik‘ing in Strybing Arboretum. Because most of them are nocturnal they are seldom seen by visitors but their tracks are frequently observed in soft, damp soil. The tree squirrels are an exception to. the nocturnal rule. The. park has two species, both introduced from the eastern part of the United States. CommonesSt is the Eastern gray squirrel, grayish in color which takes on tawny tones in the summer. Less frequently seen is the Eastern fox squirrel. _ Throughout the park the small brush rabbit can be seen feeding in early morning and evening. The raccoon, the Virginia opossom, the striped skunk, the red bat and the longtail weasel also live in the park. And, of course, the moles and pocket gophers make their presence known by the mounds of earth they push out of their subterranean tunnels. The Virginia cpossom, a member of the most primitive group of mammals ‘on the American continent, has the distinction of being the only marsupial in the United States, COOKING ~=-_— —— SEE'S FUDGE 1-cup nuts . . . \ 2 cups sugar AMF wz 1 small can milk ) 10 marshmellows ) —_—_—_— oo — — cs CANDY ) 1/4 lb. butter ) 1 teasp. vanilla ) 1 pkg. nestles chocolate chips ) ) Let come to a boil.
