at the Flower Table.
The goldenrod is the most conspi-
cuOus of the autumn flowers. 1t is
! generally considered the national
flower and is of especial interest also,
because of its Ions blooming season
and the large number of species
| found in any one locality So many
people find it difficult to distinguish
one variety from another that it is
interesting to note the special feat
ures which characterize the common
goldenrods of Vermont.
Cd The Early GoIdenrod comes
about the first of July and grows by
the roadside. 1t has broad, serrate,
basal leaves and smooth stems.
% The Canada Goldenrod is the
most common form 1t covers many
of the dry, barren hill-sides and
fields from late July until late Sept
EN- Der. 1t has a dOwny stem and
much branched floWer-clusters.
CD The BlUe-sUemmed or Wreath
GOldenrOd is found in shady woods
and is easily recognized by it's blue
stems and wreath-like hower-clus-
tiers.
(4) The Bushy GOldenrod grows
ny TIC lOdu5lQeS. II Has d HdL-IOD
flower-cluster and grass-like leaves.

ly serrate leaves, its hairy stems and
the upright, branching fOwer-cus-
tiers. 1t grows from one to three
feet high.
Cd The Stout Ragged Goldenrod
has reddish stems and very coarse
fOwer-clusters arranged in the axis
Of the leaves for sey eral inches down
on the stem. This is the most Wig
Orous and snowy of the goldenrods.
(S) The ZigZag or BToad-leaved
GOldenrOd frequents cool, shaded
spots. It's leaves are very broad and
sharp-pOinted with serrate edges.
The fOwer-clusters grow out in the
axis of alternate leaves, giving the
whole stem a zig-zag appearance.
90 The White or Silver-rod is
the only species of goldenrod with
whitish blossoms. The whole plant
has silvery appearance.
(lO) The Low Hairy GOldenrOd
closely resembles the Silver-rod ex-
cept that it's blossoms are yellow. .
CID The Swamp Goldenrod is
found in damp places. The flower
cluster is large and branched. The
basal leaves are ovate and nOtched I
on the edges and the stems are very
smooth.
(12) The Bog Goldenrod is close |
" associated with the Swami Golden
rod but its flower cluster is compact ]
