EMS OF THI Wild Flowers and Their Haunts Around the Capital. A EI0H AUD VAEI" F L0EA Ilaro Plants Tlmt Aro Nativo to tlio Nearby Dells and Glndes Midsum mer lllooms "Wlilcli Are Now llold Inj; Sway lit Field and Forest 1,400 "Varieties Found in the Dihtriet. "Washington has many claims for being the most beautiful and attractive city on tho continent. It's political and social life are loadstones for the ambitious and the pleasure-seeking. The wide, sliudy streets, tho numerous parks, the adjacent river and magnificent woodlands, make it the city, par excellence for a home. One great at traction which "Washington possesbes in a more marked degreo thau is commonly soeu In populous and prosperous sections, are our numerous "forests primeval." "With in a few miles of the boundaries, there are Jarge stretches of wooded couutry, where as yet, that modern iconoclast of nature, "tho eub-dfvisiou for suburban homes," has uot intruded. Here in the deep, dark woods., "where the marriage of the plants is sweetly solemuized," we meet many old rrieudsof the wild flower genus. "Flora Colnmblaua," as tho native flora of the District of Columbia Is called, js unusually largeand luxuriant. Prof. Lester F. "Ward, of the National Mii6eum, in his "Guide to the Flora of "Washington and Vicinity," enumerates nearly 1 ,400 flowers, etirubs and trees that are iudenous to this section. Many of these plants are rare, and are familiar only to the scientist, but a goodly percentage axe old acquaint ances perhaps known and loved from our earliest childhood. Richard .lefferis says that, "sweetest of all sweet things is wild-flower air." Our District has no flower more beautiful or more fagrant thau the trailing arbutus, and we can almost believe that Jeffries had beeuroamingtliroiigh ourspring woods, when he mado that now famous observa tlon. The trailing arbutus belongs to the heath family, and Is not even a remote connectJonoftheenuallyfragrantvirburnum or honeysuckle fami ly, for which ltis soof ten mistaken. The clustered pink flower, the rounded, heart-shaped leaves, and the graceful fes- toomug of the vine mako the arbutus very easy to identify. BEAUTIFUL SnOWT AZALEA. The heath family give us another wild flower, the azalea, whose beautiful, showy blossoms are conspicuous amoug the finest of floral displays:; also the great laurel, a fragrant flowing shrub, which seems to thrive best In the neighborhood of Chain Bridge. The great laurel is a purely American plant, and when in the full per fection of Its blooming, it is one of which we can be justly proud. We boast of fourteen varieties of the violet family around Washington, but not all of these aro wild flowers. We have a three -colored violet called tho wild pansy, which Is very pretty, but not abun dant enough to be well known. The lance-leaved violet is frequently found in the meadows along tho Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, about the end of ApriL It is a daiuty white blossom, with smooth, lance-shaped leaves, and utterly unhko the common bluo violet Wo have also a yellow violet, an arrow-leafed violet, and a species known as the pale violet, which Is found growing luxuriantly around Little Falls and the islands of the Potomac, and is chiefly noted for bearing a larger autumnal crop of flowers than It does In the ppring. The common blue violet Is our best-known and best-beloved spring flower. In the contest for naming a national flower for the United Slates, the friends of the violet made a most respcctablo showing In all climes and all ages the violet has been a favorite. No flower baa been more lauded in poetry and song In the primitive days when nature was so closely interwoven in the thoughts and words of men , the violet was chosen as an emblem of constancy. "Who giveth her lover a violet, hath given part of her soul," is anold Saxon saying. Shake speare was a great admirer of this modes t little fiower "The violet is for faith fulness," and again, Duke Arsino, in "Twelfth Night," compares a strain of music to the breath of a bank of violets. This species of wild violet is not fragrant, but will become so by transplanting into rich .damp earth, and by a little care. Tho deep blue wild violet grows profubely in the shady woodlands where the soil is slightly moist and sandy. Its dainty familiar blossom Is one of the first to greet us after the winter is past, and frequently it has n second blooming in the fall, if the weather remains mild. IN SOLITARY STATE. The wood anemone is well known in many of our forests. It is a dainty waxy looking flower, growing in solitary slate on a slender stem, and presenting a particu larly graceful and fragile appearance. The anemone conies with the young and tender foliage of the early spring, and its tremulous, delicate beauty has given it a prominent place among our wild flowers. This gentle child of the forest has a most aristocratic lineage. In fact, so an clcntis the history of the first anemone that it is almost lost In the twilight or ages. One tradition says that tlio anemone sprang from the spot whero Venus was weeping passionate, useless tears over the body of her slain lover, Adonis. An other Greek fable is that a wood nymph was so much admired by that fickle and adroit flatterer, .Zephyr, that she excited tho Jealousy of the goddess Flora. This young woman promptly changed her rival into the cold, delicate anemone, and sent the cruel north wind, Boreas, to torment bcr. The ancients called lho anemone the "wind shaken," possibly from this fable, and they bad a superstition that the wind which passed over the anemone brought disease and disaster in Its wake. The ruo anemono monopolizes the roots of old trees, and is a very prelty species, with clusters of pinkish white" flowers and graceful foliage. It Is found most abundantly in what the botanists formerly called the terra cotta region, but which can bo better Identified now as the sub urb of Brookland and the Catholic Uni versity grounds. "Yq find in the same neighborhood tho sweet bay or laurel mag nolia, a shrub which grows to the height of twenty feet, and bears dark shining leaves from four to six Inches in length and beautiful while flowers, almost un pleasantly fragrant. During these sultry July days the cool secluded marsheB of the Upper Potomac and tho Eastern Branch, and the many low damp places around "Washington, are covered with tho- starry white clusters of the Virginia clematis, or, as it is popu larly known, "Virgin's bower." Per haps we have no wild flower that Is ruoro familiarly known than tho clematis. It Is one of our best climbers, very hardy, and of rapid growth, and Its beautiful clusters of flowers, white and Eometlmcs purple, make It highly ornamental. Later In tho soason the blossoms give place to silvery feather-like plumes that arc unspeakably lovely. SKILLFUL PORCH CLIMBERS. The clematis is easily cultivated, and all lovers of tbeso woodland children are glad to notice that they are rapidly being trans planted to olty homes, where they make graceful and skillful porch climbers. They accomplish this purpose by means of tho bending or clasping of the tender leaf stalks, and, according to Dr. Darwin, the ascent each day can be accurately predicted. The clematis, like tho anemone, belongs to the great and distinguished family, Ranunculacea, which furnishes our native flora with so many other favorltoB. The hepatica, which blooms in great numbers on dry hillsides; the water plaintain spear wort; three or four varltles of crowfoot; those cherished friends of our childhood, the buttercup and the wild columbine; the well-known field larkspur and its pigmy sister, the dwarf larkspur, are znembcrB of this family. Another species li the tall meadow rue, as Handsome and graceful a flower as one could see iu tho choicest garden. Where Rock Creek wends its leisurely ' course through our midsummer fields and forests the meadow ruo lifts her stately head above the myriad blossoms around. In this region we find aleo tho wild flag, purple-tinted and haughty with regal glory, the yellow meadow lily, tho dellcato swamp milk-weed and the fringed orchis. All of them aro captivating, charming flowers, but none are to striking as the cool, chaste beauty of tho meadow ruo. We have no wild fower more prolific in this section than the bluet. No one can forget its tender loveliness, claiming our attention from tho roadsides, the meadows, and tho outskirts of tho woods. Its twink ling blue oyesseem to laugh a welcome to all morning strollers. Towards evening Its dainty, euamol-llke flowers are still bright and fresh, it being decidedly uot a blossom "which llveth Just for tho hour." The bluets have been honored with many names. About 1830 some local botanists about Washington christened the species Venus' Pride. Prof. Meohan Bays "that namecould not become popular, because according to all accounts Venus was a dashing young fe male, with a very high opinion or her charms, and such a character is totally at variance with this wee, modest flower." Around Philadelphia it is called "Quaker Bonnet," and in other sections it is kuqwn as the dwarf pink. AN OLD FRIEND. Tho common white daisy is an old friend to whom each spring flower lovers glvo a hearty welcome. It is not, however, greeted so enthusiastically by the fannei? tho "white weed," as he calls it, being very hurtful to pasture land and difficult to eradicate. The daisy has lately be come popular as a church decorator, and figured quite conspicuously at weddings during the past spring. It is associated in most minds, however, with the sad story of Marguerite and how she questioned its snowy petals to find whether the gay and heartless Faust really loved her. So It does not seem a very happy selection for a wedding flower. Washington Is particularly pioud of five very handtomo species of liutive water lilies. The white water lily, or pond lily, Is too well known to need description. It is found wild aiouud Great Falls, but is more fumiliur on account of its introduc tion into the lukc& and fountain basins of our parks. Scarcely a fountain In our numerous parks that has not a collection of this fine queenly flower. The White Lot lake had a few years ago quite a famous assortment of aquatic lilies, con taining fconie of the larest species known. A daiuty pink lily is often teen in the parks fioailug among its spotlcas sisters and making an exquisite contrast of color. No flower is more richly colored than the blue wutcr lily, one of the wild species found in great quantities near the Potoiuno flats and the marshes of Aualostau Island. This is one of the deepest and most beautiful of our few blue flowers. Like our blue song birds, our azone-tinted flowers are very rare. The more northern climates seem to produce" he couleur-du-cellin much greater abundance, both in flower raiment and bird plumage. The glory of bprlug and summer forests depends largely on the prevalence of the honey-suckle family. We have a good dozen beautiful and fragrant specimens. Our bprlng woods are always lovely with rosy masses of the wild honey-suckle, which so much resembles the azeleas that only a close student of nature can discern the difference Itisin the heightof its beauty after the azelea has ceased to bloom, and Is the first of the loug pageant of glo rious summer flowers. The trumpet honey suckle Is familiar along fences nud high ways, and gives infinite life and variety to the dullest and most prooaic biirround Ings. We have a yellow-flowered species that Is lovely in the extreme. The Jap anese honey-suckle Is a native of many of our woods, and Is mostly found close to the spot where the wood thrush and other berry-eating songsters have their meeting place. ALONG THE ROADS. Those residents of the city who are given to country drives will uow see all along the roads, and on the outskirts of cultivated fields, a tall showy white flower known as the wild carrot. They aro graceful and stately-looking, and muke tho landscape picturesque and attractive for the passerby, but they are tlio bane of the florist, and the despair of the farmer According to popu lar verdict, the wild carrot is tho "peski est" weed of this vicinity, audit seems hard to believe that it is an offshoot of that quiet, respectable garden vegetable, the edible carrot- Carrots seem to be Very old as a food staple. Pliny, the elder, speaks of this delicious esseuce in broth. They have been eaten In England slnee-the days of the Tudors Parkinson says thatin the Elizabethan period carrots were in high favor, the ladles carrying their ad miration to the extent of wearing wild carrot flowers in their hair on state oc casions. Itisbadtolmugiuethe woo-begone appearancea court lady must have presented after a few minutes in a hot crowded ball room. The corn-cockle Is another trespasser on cultivation, and Is found In large num bers in the grain fields It is a lovely flower of the purest blue, very attractive luappearance.andsolienlentare we mortals prone to be, when vice puts on thesemblance of beauty, that the friends of the corn cockle arc numerous Even the bad repu tation which it receives in the parable of the good husbandman and the enemy who sowed his field with cockle, does not pre vent us from loving these mischief-making flowers, which, with "their bluo eyes with tears o'er flowing, staud like Ruth amid the golden corn." WTo have also another troublesome In truder, this one of foreign extraction, nnd less tolerable, the blue vetch. This flower which is scarcely pretty enough for us to forgive Its bad habits is an emigrant from Eugland. Many garden lovers have often devoutly wished our energetic fore fathers had allowed It to remain on it's native shores. The brilliant poppy is also of foreign extraction, but now, it has become so prevalent that It literally glori fies our rural districts with vivid patches of color. ORCniDS ARE UNIQUE. In that most fascinating of the floral families, the orchid, we have five uative specimens. The orchid has lately been tho object, of so much scientific research, and tho magnificent dlspaly of these unique flowers at the World's Fair has awakened a deep Interest in all Its peculiarities. Its Interesting mechanism, and the many strange habits, 'repay the most earnest study. The showy orchid, or "preacher in the pulpit," Is our best specimen. Its radiant beauty begins to dot the woods in early May. In August the rein-orchid blooms, and tho ragged fringed orchid is orten seen through the summer in our swamps and marches. Adam and Eve is a very pretty species, and derives its name, from the fact, that it brings forth leaves, at least three months before Jt flowers. We have many pleasing kinds of wild phlox, sweet William, and catch-fly, and one pretty little flower that blooms all through the summer is called Venus' looking-glass. Sweet Ciclly is familiar to nearly every one, and children are devoted to Us aromatic root. Tho passion flower blooms luxuriantly around our woods, and is frequently cultivated on garden trellises. Its fruit, known as the May apple, is also quite popular with tho Juvenile element. The black-eyed Susan and the elder flower are soon constantly in August in our meadowR and along tho roadways. W have among our forest Triends a beau tiful species of wild pink, whose fresh, vigorous-looking flowers are most attract ive in the late summer. No mention of flowers would be com plete without a reference to that lovely little blossom bo dear to the heart of tho lover, tho forget-me-not. 2Co flower In all tho long list of wild and tamo varieties has been eo often used symbolically. To lovo tho wild flowers is to appreciate one of God's BWcetest gifts, and "won drous trulhB hath, our Father written, "wondrous aro these revelations of His love." MARGARET BRENT.
