THE MAYELOWER

AS ono enters Union Station In
Portland at this season Of the year
he may hear the shrill voice of some
enterprising young American cry,
"Mayflowers for sale. Mayf1owers
only IS a bunch. New England May
flowers" But II our tourist continues
his Journey to South Union Station,
Boston. above the voices OF the news
boys may be heard almost the same
cry In the same cadence, "May1owers
FOR sale. Mayfowers, only 35 a bunch,
plymouth May-f-l-ow- ers."
And why is this beautiful little
flower called the Mayfower? Does 1t
owe It's name to that historic ship
about which cluster so many legends?
No. It was the first token of spring
10 cheer that little band OF Plymouth
colonists who survived that first Sc
we're winter. Longfellow refers to the
Iayhower in the "Courtship OF Miles
Standish" when poor John Alden
started out 20 propose for his friend:
so through the plymouth woods
John Alden went on his GRAND:
Crossing the brook at the ford,
where it bawled oyer pebble and
shadow.
Gathering still, as he went, the May
flowers blooming around him,
Children lost in the woods, and
covered with leaves in their
slumber.
Puritan flowers he said, and the
type of Puritan maidens,
Modest and simple and sweet, the
very type OF Puritan maidens.
Modest and simple and sweet, the
very type OF Priscilla,
SO will take them to her; to Priscil-
Ia, the May-fowcr OF Plymouth,
parting gift will take them;
Breathing their silent farewels, as
they fade and wither and
perish,
Soon 10 be thrown away as is the
heart Of the giver.'
So he stood there abasbed and gave
her the flowers"
Not only does the Mayfower grow
abundantly about Plymouth. but it
also grows quite profusely in north
srn New England. From the Greek
derivation, its botanical name, "epe-
gaea." means upon the earth" Like
the strawberry. As runners strike root
In now clumps. The children in our
public schools should be instructed
