Natures Children
Bald Cypress.
(Tdrodiun1 dtStichum.
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Bald expresses are famous because
of their knees, great knobby cone
shaped growths above the stagnant
waters of southern sWamps and riv-
er bottoms.
Cypress swamps are fascinating
places where orchids. brilliant am
aryllis flowers, Spanish moss and
Irattlesnakes are neighhors. One-haf
the year the water is too high for
safe travelling and the other half,
the jungle of wiry vines, tough un-
dergrowth and dangerous creatures
underfoot makes going slow.
These cypress trees grow in the
dense swampy areas or mixed with
tupelo, gums, soft naples and elms,
overcup oaks, green ash and willows.
Bald cypress are the last of an an
cient race. During the Tertiary
Period in Central North America
and areas of Europe, great bald cy-
press forests flourished. All per-
ished in the Glacial Era.
The last stand of these wonderful
trees is found in the Southeastern
States where they grow along the
coast from Southern Delaware to
Southern Florida, westward along
the Gulf Coast into Texas, and
northWard up the river valleys
through Oklahoma and Arkansas to
Southern Illinois and Southwestern
Indiana. Bald cypress has been sue
cessfully planted for ornamental
and roadside purposes. More than
one-half of the stand of about H.
500 100000 board feet in 1941 was To-
Gated in Louisiana and Florida.
Thousand year old trees may
grow to height of $50 feet with a
l2-foot diameter. Some have lived
to be 1000 years old. Youthful bald
cypress have a narrow pyramidal
crown. In later years the spreading
branches form broad irregular
one. Although this tree is a conf
fer, it is not an evergreen as it
sheds its leaves and small irnma-
ture twigs each autumn. The only
other deciduous confer is our larch.
The trunk of the tree has a crown
of sage-green feathery foliage. In

male and female flowers. The slen-
der purplish male blossoms hang in
tassellike clusters of from three to
six inches. Solitary female flowers
are on the ends of the branchlets.
The fruit natures each year into
purplish, spherical, woody cones
containing from l8 to 80 pale brown
winged seeds.
In the swamps, shallow serpentine
roots reach out, developing into
sharp elongate knees" which rise
above the water a few inches to six
feet according to water level They
are hollow and supposed to assist In
anchoring the tree and furnishing
air to submerged roots.
Cypress lumber is known as the
wood eternal" Ships, tanks, build
Ing. flooring, crossties are but a few
OF the thousands of uses to which
the cypress wood is essential.
