shady places in most parts of the British
Isles. his is the wOod-sorrel OXalis ace
tosela respecting which so careful a
writer as George Bentham says, in his
"Eritsh Flora" This is believed to be
the original of the Irish shamrock, al
though that emblem is now represented
by Trifolium reptns." Now, Trifolium re-
pens is that extremely useful pastoral
plant known to farm rs throughout the
kingdom white clover or Dutch clover,
and Bentham says of it: In Ireland be-
lieyed to be of compaT atiVely recent in
PRODUCTION, although it is now taken as
the national emblem in substitution of
OXalis acetosella. which Is asserted by
some writers to have been the original
shamrock"
1t needs. indeed but "A brief inspection
of the punches of green that are sold
in the streets of the cities of Ireland on
ST. Patrick's day to ascertain that they
consist not of wood-sorrel but of one of
the leguminous herbs of which white
clover is an excellent type. There are
many Teople in Ireland who claim to pos
sess the faculty of recognizing the true
shamrock. Some seven or eight years ago
specimens gathered by these experts were
obtained from eleven Irish counties and
were planted and allowed to flower,
whereby their identity might be estab>
lished beyond a shadow of doubt Inter
estingly enough, two distinct species re-
Vealed themselves. Inc majority OF the
plants proved to be TrifOium minus,
small clover known 10 farmers as the
yellow sucking; the others turned out to
be Trifolium repers, The latter plant has
a white head of flowers, whereas the for
mer has a yellow head of flowers and is
much the smaller plant of the two.
In the experiment referred to, which
was described in the Irish Naturalist" at
the time, Cork, Derry, Wicklow, WEEK
ford. Queens county, and Clare declared
and Roscommon were in favor Of white
Dutch. Armagh and Carlow divided their
votes, for two specimens from each coun-
~ turned out to be, the one Trifolium
minus and the other Trifolium repens. The
seeds Of both species are sown largely in
this country ever year, and they produce
nutritious pasture plants The white Glow
er differs from the yellow sucking in
its more creeping habit, on which ac-
count it is valuable because 1t spreads
out and invades bare patches in pasture
land
The famous old pastures of England and
ireland contain plenty of this clover, from
the presence of which no little of their
high grazing quality is derived. If we
nut sentiment on one side, it is quite GER
tain that either of the species named Will
serve as an adequate representative or
'the sweet little plant" though for
choce the yellow sucking may be pre-
ferred as the smaller and rather more
elegant. This, indeed, appears to be the
true shamrock the flowerless shoots OF
which there should be no difficulty III
finding in our meadows and pastures at
mid March.
