iso, MIcOI., June 2-(By A.P.)-- ion of their beauty, the
lice fl. Brown of the local high the rushing wind and
biology department, an ardent brook which surrounds
green forest,
the sighing
them and
lover of wild flowers, has issued a plea
for greater thoughtfulness on the part
of persons who seek the woods and
meadows of Michigan during the
spring and summer.
Missi Brown urged that care be tk-
en not to injure the wild flower plants,
voicing the fear that unless such care
is taken there is a possibility that cer-
tain varieties of flowers will become
extinct in Michigan.
Her statement follows:
"In spring and summer the woods
and open country call, and especially
on pleasant days, the young and old
go forth from the city. It is a bless-
ing that the city bred boy and girl
may beconm familiar with the flowers
,and the birdss of the woodlands. There
Sp a great d eal of pleasure for the
flower lover to pick the beautiful blos-
soms not reayl ng that because of his
short lived enjoyment he may not be
4ble to find the 'wild flowers again in
this favoritd spot. Sometimes it is
Apt the picking of the flowers that de-
titroys the Aplants," but the method of
pitkingh Pants propagated by seeds
aire destroyed if all the flowers are car
ried '.ro , while plants propagated
by roots. are destroyed when the root
i pulled in picking.
"It is not only that the wild flowers
ate desroyed for future generations
when they are carelessly picked, but
there are ba ten fields laid waste to
the ravages of soil erosion. In un-
cultivated fields the .plants developing
from scattered seeds prevent
washing. In the woods the ground
plants serve to retain the moisture for
plant growth and prevent floods in
spring and the drying up of streams in
summer. Fires often destroy the
ground covering, and many years are
required for the formation' of humus
before wild flowers will develop agan.
"An educational campaign is being
conducted by the Wild Flower Pre-
servation Society of America to obtain
protectin of our native plants. In this
section of the conty flowersrmay be
classified in three general .groups.
"First: Those that should not be
picked, including Marsh and wild hon-
eysuckles, Indian pink, bird-foot vio-
let, Lobelia (cardinal flowers), gen-
tian, tA ling arbutus, Indian 'Die,
lady's slipper, dog-tooth violet, twin
flower, tMoth wart, toadflax and bell
wort.'
"Second: Those that may be picked
sparingly if the roots aie not disturb-
ed and plenty are left to go to seed,
includingg bloodroot, anemone, clinton-
ia, winter green, dogwood, all lillies,
trillium, false and true Solomon's seal,
phlox, pitcher plant, rose pink, spring
beauty, Dutchman's breeches, squirrel
corn, wild geranium and bitter sweet.
"Third:Those that may be picked
freely without danger of extermin -
tion, including aster, arrow leaf, black-
eyed Susan, buttercups, cowslips, blue
weed, boneset, blazing star, bouncing
bet, sweet clover, beggar weed, poke
weed, evening primrose, foxglove, fir
weed, ground ivy, Japanese honeysc:-{
kle, milkweed, morning glory, mus-
tard, yarrow and daisy.
From one of the circulars of the
New England society is taken an ex-
cellent admonition: 'Study the rare
flowers in t he field without destroying
them, and take home with you a vis-
which is a vital part of their wild,
free life. And as you hang these pic-
tures on Memories' walls to desire and
enjoy again and again, you will have
the added pleasure of knowing that
these lives still continue in their nat-
ive haunts to be admired and loved
by all who seek to know them.' Those
who follow this excellent admonition
J will be doing no more than their sim-
ple duty as good citizens."
