Nature’s Children
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
WHAT fun it is to visit the
streams and places where
there is water and find
there so many interesting
plants, to sit beside them and realize
what romantic stories each possesses
and that some one has, with great
patience and skill, found out the
secrets of the individual plants, so
that we can go to these places of
enchantment and read the signs be
fore us.
We notice mall herbs choking the
waterways. They are apparently float
ing on the surface of the water.
The leaves are finely toothed or cut,
growing from erect stems. Perhaps
there are small, inconspicuous flow
ers there, or queer-looking fruit if
your visit is later in the season.
We are told there are rrom 50 to
60 species in this family of water
chestnuts. They are widely distrib
uted, throughout the temperate regions
of both hemispheres.
This one pictured here is a native
of Southern Europe. It has always
enjoyed growing in water ana has
creeping stems. From the center of
these items rises the loot stalk that
supports the many leaves. Under the
stems there Is a mass of hairlike roots.
•J* »
It Is these tufty rootlets that hold
the debris to be fouad In these places,
and gradually the stream becomes
choked.
The hard, horned fruit, about the
size of a chestnut, is your valuable
aid to identification. It contains a
large amount of farinaceous starch,
and this, as you know, is valuable
food.
The stiff, hornlike projections sug
gest to the mind the caltrop, an an
cient, four-pronged instrument used in
wars. The cruel four-pronged caltrop
was strewn over the ground where
cavalry horses would step upon them,
thus halting their advance.
However, the seed 61 the water
chestnut has served many people. Its
resemblance to the wicked instrument
of war is only exterior. For many
it has meant life, and that makes
the water chestnut a valuable plant,
indeed.
In France, the water chestnut re
ceived its common name. Here the
seeds were gathered and dried so that
the starch could easily be extracted.
In Italy, the chestnuts are called
Jesuit chestnuts, for the Jesuits used
them freely. In Cashmere they were
considered very important as food for
the peasants, who formed a greater
part of the population, and in China
the seeds are even to this day used
extensively.
Bo, m you sit beside the stream that
is struggling with too many water
chestnut residents, you can lift some
of them out, to relieve the congested
condition. The strange-looking seeds
can be added to your collection, and.
as far as the chestnut is concerned in
this country, she will carry on,
scarcely noticing your interference.
