We cannot live without food, clothing and shelter. Let us see how plants help us to obtain these three great necessities.

Notebook Work: Write or dictate a list of all the plants that you can name.

Draw a line under each that is useful for food.

Draw two lines under each that is useful for clothing.

Draw three lines under each that is useful in making or furnishing our homes or shelter.

Of what use are the plants that are not underlined? Are they beautiful? How dull the world would be without flowers!

We have: 1. Food plants, 2. Clothing plants, 3. Shelter plants, 4. Ornamental plants.
