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.
