Flower Of the Arctic Regions

fIOWefS ot the Arrtfc Regions.
The polar flowers seldom have any Per
fume. and the few that exhibit this de-
lightful quality, however feeble. are,
think, from that class that have crept over
the cold border marked by the Arctic
circle: or. in short, hone of the fifty men
tionea-Eskimo flowers, We might cal,
them in a popular way-have any appre
ciable odor. The color Of these boreal
blossoms are generally of the cold tints.
as IL in harmony with the chilly sur
roundin-s, instead OF the warm hues that
would break in upon the desolation with
double effect by sheer contrast where so
few cheering sights are TO be seen. White
and light yellow predominate, and these
colors seem associated with frosts and
cold weather, for it appears that these
flowers we call ''evcrlastiDgs, and which
are the longest to defy the nippin-S Of the
coming winter weather, are mostly tinted
Ike the northern SHOWS and yellow
northern lights.
1t is in the depths Of old ocean that we
find some of the largest expressions Of
plant life in the polar zone. Here, within
a short distance of shore. are colossal
