, First One To Bloom

III the spring which wild flower is
first to bloom?
Often as carly as the later part of
February or first of March, we can
find, if we will take the trouble to
look, dark-red horn shaped flower
pushing it's way above the muddy,
half frozen soil, frequently complete
ly surrounded by snow and ice.
This is the skunk cabbage. says
Nature Magazine of Washington, and
although it's blossom has, as it's name
implies, an extremely unpleasant,
malodorous scent, it is, nevertheless,
a flower, and, by reason of its hardi-
hood in bravins the cold long before
any of the other flowers have COM
menced to push themselves above
the earth, it is deserving of all the
honors which the name of its first
spring flower may carry with 1t.
Closely pressing the hepatica in the
race for first place is that dainty
little flower the claytonia.
Trailing ,arbutus makes claim to
being the first flower" 1t can be
found in March and even, on rare oc-
casione, in the latter part of Febru-
ary, hiding it's beauty and fragrance
beneath the n,ctted dead leaves, and
\ lfGQQGILly GNGll DCICiliI lliC oiioW
The Pilgrim Fathers found this little
flower and gave it the name MAY
flower" I =
These flowers really form the ad-
vance guard of the immense army of
blossoming plants that will march,
without Interruption, across our fields
and woods for the next six months.
The trilliums, the dog tooth and
white violets, the marsh marigold,
the anemone or wildfower, Jacll-in-
the Pulpit. saXifraSe, Dutchman's
breecles. and myriad of others
adorn its ranks.
