BOTANICAL NOTES
FOR APRIL
‘For lo, the winter is past, the rain
is over and gone; the flowers appear
the
the
our'
can
on the earth; the time of
singing of birds is come, and
voice of the turtle is heard in
land’.
Surely anything more beautiful
scarcely be '‘imagined than this sub
lime idyll of Solomon in exemplifica
tion of the season of seasons—Spring.
These words are symbolical of health,
wealth and happiness for, all. For
winter is past with its attendant hard
ship; growth and fertility come with
the flowers: joy and gladness with
the voice of the singing birds and the
turtle.
Plant-lovers realize what a wealth
of health and happiness there is in
store for them when as the Song of
Song avers ‘flowers appear on the
earth’.
‘New love is brightest, and long
love is greatest; but revived love is
the tenderest thing on earth’. As the
same plants are sought gacli spring
with never-failing zest by all botan
ists irrespective of experience; the
wonder-working panacea of vernal
woodland rambles, together with this
tender revived love, quickly banishes
winter lethargy.
Most people know quite well what
an opulence of sane and gratuitous
pleasure there is in the study of wild
flowers, therefore they long to make
friends with them, but hesitate to do
so because they may not see their
way clearly how to begin. This need
not deter them. There was a time
when even the most learned botanist
knew nothing whatever about plants.
He, like everyone else, had to make a
start, so why not you? And now is
the time.
A letter (which may be mailed free
of charge) addressed to the Domin
ion Botanist, Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa, will bring a sympa
thetic, comprehensive and speedy re
ply to anyone who may need infor
mation. If necessary a list of books
dealing with Canadian wild
their prices and publishers
sent.
It is an unfortunate fact
botanical herald of spring should be
of rather a despicable character, but
nevertheless interesting.
Down in the bogs, swamps” and
other wet places may be noticed, here
and there, small .groups of what ap
pear to be, tiny gnomish dwarfs; such
as figure in fairy stories or in the
Silly Symphonies of the screen. Their
cowls or monk’s hoods are purplish-
flowers,
'Will be
that the
brown or greenish-yellow and mostly
mottled. Peeping from these cowls
are round, sinister little faces. They
seem to be- creatures of another
•world, but are, in reality, plants. The
cowls are the spathes and the- faces
the spadices composed of tiny flow
ers.
As many flowers possess an odour,,
pleasing or otherwise; the first in
stinct is to smell these. But what a
shock! It may be skunk, garlic or —•
horror of horrors! — putrid meat.
This evil-smelling herald of spring is
the forerunner of what will later be
come a malodorous cabbage; for
these are the flowers of the notorious
skunk cabbage,
Do not be deceived by connecting
this nasty-smelling bunch of leaves
with the cabbage of culinary fame.
Happily there is no relationship. But
strange to say (and strictly in confi
dence) the skunk cabbage is a cousin
of the famous African arum or calla
lily; sheaves of which will be proudly
carried by the June brides.
It is realized, however, that all Can
adian cousins of the arum lily have
not the offensive habits of the skunk
cabbage when the pretty little water
arum smiles, and the Jack-in-the-pul-
pit preaches in May.
Towards the end of the month may
be found one or two very adventitious
wild flowers blooming in the open;
possibly a precocious daisy-like Rohl
in's plantain, with its violet flower
heads; or an occasional crane’s bill,
and perhaps an early adder’s tongue,
here and there.
