which the tree hopes will be favorable

The red bud, or Judas tree, also lights
a fame on the hillside. a thing of glory
when viewed from a distance but dissolv-
ing into nothing when approached for
close inspection. and because of this de-
ception is given the name of the man
most scorned. Nearly all the trees. even
to the pine have blossoms, a fact not
generally recognized.
The flower photographer recited the
many tribulations that beset the path
of him who would record the flowers in
their happiest moods Mr.. Crandall. for
instance, one day started out for some
pictures of old-fashioned tansy, a plant
that was familiar to most childhoods and
which has a way of blooming around de-
serted farmsteads. With his thirty-pound
outfit on his back he tramped twenty

The great family of ferns is Of peren-
NAL interest. says Mr.. Crandall. to the
individual who haunts the woods, and
one Of the early spring wonders is the
unwinding Of the great leaves of these
plants. The long arms Of what are to be
fern leaves shoot out Of the ground early
in the spring, and the knotty fist that is
on the end of them opens out most
stealthily until it becomes a multi-leaf
with every finger a rib.
At about this period of the glory of the
spring there appears the dogwood bios
som, one of the handsomest of the flower
ing trees. Later the flowers will give
place to bright red berries. Most of the
berries of the woods are bright red They
do 1t on purpose. and there is an eco
nomic reason The berry wants to at
tract the attention of the birds. 1t wants
to be eaten by the bird. AS an additional
inducement it puts on a layer of gummy

nal comedy enacted in the woods with the
ladys slipper and the humble bee as the
principals. This plant may be fertilized
and its seeds may grow in but one way,
by the humble bee carrying the pollen
of one flower to another. Realizing this,
the ladys slipper places the bait of great
quantities of honey near it's opening to
induce the humble bee to enter. The
flower wants him inside that pollen may
be smeared all over him. The door is so
small that he may barely squeeze
through. The bee does so. and eats his fill
of the honey, and is ready to go. He
finds the door so small that he may not
back out of it. There is the light of

starts for it,, He must crowd his way

a bed of it in a hundred yards Of camp.
Again he found that there was a gap
in his picture collection with relation to
black cohosh. He was camped beside
Lake Bomoseen, in Vermont. and search
ed its shores for days. One afternoon he
was crossing the lake in a boat and a
squat drove him ashore and into the
very arms of the long sought cohosh.
Again there was a handsome blooming
shrub that required just the right light
for the proper effect. The sun was wrong
and the photographer sat and waited for
six hours until it had traversed the sky
and shone exactly the right way for the
picture.
