The World OF Nature
BY John M. Frazier

in the colder part of the temperate
and frigid regions of the earth
during winter, The conifers which
remain green in the cold regions
reduce their activities in winter
while the deciduous plants drop
their leaves. The annual and per-
ennial herbaceous plants die dur
ing cold weather and their roots
or seeds remain dormant through
the adverse circumstances.
This census was made the last
day of 1856 and the first day of
1887 to determine the status of
plant life that would be typical
for the Long Leaf Pine Belt. 1t
reflects the mildness of the CHM
ate in the region along the Gulf
Coast and into the interior a hun
dred miles or more.
1t should be noted that this
fall has not had killing frost yet.
There were few heavy frosts
that killed plant life in exposed
places but plants growing in more
protected situations have carried
on normal activities. Since the re-
glon is generally mild, it probably
is this type of climate that makes
the Long Leaf Pine Belt possible.
Deciduous Trees And Shrubs
There are many native trees and
shrubs common to the, area. They
are of varying degrees of hard
ness. The leaves drop off of some
OF them early and cling to the
others much longer. Our large
leaved magnolia drops its leaves
early, even in protected places
On the other hand, black willows
usually retain some of their leaves
until Christmas or later. If we hac
a killing frost, it would kill al
! declduouS leaves. Since we have
| not had one this fall and winter
some of the leaves of many spe-
cles are clinging on as greer
leaves, turning to yellow and red
Most of the red maple leaves
are gone, but few are still green
indicating there is still some pho
tosynthesis in progress. Alone
with the naples are many oaks

oaks, willow oaks, laurel oaks ano

New Year Plant Census

Plant life usually commands
considerable interest from nature
lovers. The interest is sufficient
to Justify the taking of census

of the new year Any census is
Localized and reflects the condi-
tons of plant life for the season
and place.
There are several reasons why
plant life commands interest. All
other life is dependent on the
work of green plants. They make
the food for parasitic and Sapro-
phytic plants and all animals, Ell
Their directly or indirectly. Plants
are anchored and therefore do not
move to escape enemies and un-
favorable conditions. They can be
found at the same place day after
day and season after season.
Plants are controlled by moisture,
temperature, light, and soil; con-
Sequently, they reflect these and
other factors by their state of de-

candleberry and perhaps others.
There are number of herba-
ceous plants that have two sea-
sons of growth and are called BIZ
ennials. These plants terminate
as seeds in the late summer and
fall. They grow usually as rosettes
near the ground during the fall
and winter. When spring comes
they often shoot up tall stems
which bear flowers and later
seeds. An example of this is found
in wild lettuce. This plant begins
life sometimes as early as August.
A many leaved rosette can be
found during winter. When the
second warm season comes next
spring, stems from two to eight
feet tall are grown.
Other biennials include false
dandelion, krigia dandelion, SOW
