Visiter Can Enjoy Flowers of;
Several Seasons in
a Visit.
Abundant snows on the higher
levels of Yosemite National .Park
have brought a bumper crop of
flowers, this season.
Attention is called to this fact by
the announcement that special
provision has been made for the!
protection of (lie lavish display I
from depredations of the thoughtless
visitor.
Yosemite topography, with thousands
of feet difference in altitude
in places within hailing distance of
each other, makes it possible for
the visitor to enjoy flowers of several
seasons in i single visit, says
a bulletin from the Washington, i>. j
C., headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.

Snow Plant is a Park Wonder A
Most interesting of al! plants to
the visitors is the snow plant?L
and no other is so jealously guard- ,
<xl by the Park authorities. When '
word of a new stalk is revived, a ^
sign is dispatched hastily aw! |
erected near it?hands ,off! In it < ,
early stages the anowplant is mor - j ^
like a scarlet asparagus tip than
anything else. As it matures, th- .
leaves near the upper end unfold
jind reveal bells much like those of ,
a hyacinth.. The name sn >wplam
is misleading, according to such a *
high authority as *Jepson, who says j'
the plant has nothing to do with 41
snow, and that the name probably jc
originated because it appears early 1
in spring find is likely to be caught i?
in a late flurry, which makes th?* | V
richness of >ts coloring all the!*
more conspicuous, causing the un
informed toithink that the plant
pushed its way through the new
snow.
Contrary to the common assump- 1
tion, the snowplant is not a para<
site, but lives on decaying vege-1
table matter absorbed through in J.
trir;!tely laced white fibers which
serve the plant in place ,of roots, n
It it uni(|ue in that the food ah- ^
sorbed is at once transmitted into .
the scarlet stalk (and leaves, differ- n,
ing from other plants which are
veritable chemical laboratories, demanding
chlorophyl to assist them ?
in digesting their daily meal. I lf
There probably are more than
1,000 different species of flowering?
plants, shrubs and tvoo? v 'n
v. in i uric*
inito. Some; of them, like the marsh u
buttercup, seem to hud beneath the n
snow and then burst into bloom a* vv
soon as the icy covering melts on the
Ihigh levels of tho park a thin
patch of snow will disappear undor [
the influence of a hot sun and tho ?
patient botanist in a few hour.1* can
see {the buttercups unfolding into
full blossom. This undoubt- ?
edly is due to environment, nature =
having taught the bowers of the 2
high altitudes to adapt themselves p,
to tho brief season of warmth. =;
Indian paintbrush, thick clusters _
of pink bells ori the manzanial, ?
wild lilac, azaleas along the river =
bank, dogwood, lavendar shooting _
stars, and many others appear in 5
early spring. In June comes the r
gorgeous Mariposa lily, varying in ^
color from a white to a deep red, If
4
md resembling (u cultivated tulip.
Then there is the Washington lily,
throwing its large white bloomhigh
above the chaparral. Lupines
reach their prime in {August?there
:ire so many different kinds in
Yosemite that some of them never
have been classified. You can see
them in acre stretches in the meaddws,
looking like minature for-:
ests, topped by brilliant petals. The
fire weed also grows in luxuriance.
"Monkey Flower"
Comparatively rare among the
flowers of Yosemite, and as beautiful
as any orchid, is the mentzela
?r blazing star, yellow petals,
orange center, with a fringe of long!
stamens, giving it an exotic ap |
pea ranee. Curiosities among the 1
park's flowers are the yellow mon
key flower and purple elephant
head, the former taking; its name i
from the plaintive and humorous:
little face outlined on it, while the
latter suggests the flapping ears'
:md long (trunk of an elephant.
Another interesting plant is the
ijuinine bush, the bitter leaf of,
which is used by the Indians a?>'
medicine. i

vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, n
grocer of this city. "It is without

It. I take it for sour stomach, head I
ache, had liver, indigestion, and ali
other troubles that are the result of!
a torpid liver.
"I have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend ii
to every one. I won't go to bed without
it in the house. It will do all U
claims to do. I can't say enough foi
it."
Many other men and women throughout
the country have found BlackDraught
just as Mr Parsons describee j
?valuable in regulating the liver to |
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.

The history of the islands has al

Once Haunts of Pirates. *
As a matter of ideological knowledge ?
the islands are merely the ra.sr.Gred ?
summits of the same granite ridjre Sj
that forms the backbone of the Corn
wall. One old family bears on its coat 9
of arms a horse escaping from the &
sea, commemorating the fleetness ofjSjj
the charger which saved one of its an|?l
cestors from being swallowed up hy'5
the waves when this part of the coast 9
sank. In ancient times the Scillies ^
are supposed to have been the haunts B
of pirates and smugglers, and the H
forty mile trip from then to Penzance Kg
makes the traveler feel that no one I
less hardy than the^Gilhert and Sulli- 5
vpii product of pirate at least should I
attempt it. 1
Today the Scillies have some of the I
finest orardens in England. They fur- I
nish the London market with early I
vegetables, but even more important C
than these products ore the flowers B
grown on the islands. The air is warm 9
and laden with moisture, and from De Ig
comber to June most of the inhabi- R
tants are occupied in picking, packing, 8
and sending away the flowers. Great
fields of narcissuses are grown, tho S
fuchias, geraniums and myrtles are
said to become immense in size, and n
loses bloom in mid-winter. Even the n
hedges are made of flowering plants, a
Fishing, the occupation of the early 5
inhabitants, still remains an impor- ?|
tant one, however, for lobsters must I
he furnished the London epicure. jkjj
Only five of the islands are inhab- n
ited?St. Mary's, Tresco, St. Martin's, g
St. Agnes and Bryher?and Hugh m
Town on St. Mary's is the capital. B|
Above this city towers Star Castle o.f il
Elizabethan days. 33
Until the acquisition of the islands 9
by the Prince of Wales, they have I
been governed by a lord proprietor H
since the time of Elizabeth. Though B
the inhabitants of the islands have J
l Tf>n 11 -??
? ?v..Ci.n;u unut-r me system j 9
inaugurated by the last family of I
proprietors some peculiar incidents of
their tenure have been told. It seems a
that at one time there were people liv
inp: on the island of Samson, but in M
order that the Scillies would not J
have to furnish sustenance for many I
people, he transported all the Samson- fl
ites, as well as the poor of the other I
islands, to the mainland, and it is B
said that his*tenants were allowed to
keep only one son with them. Conse- w
[juently many of the children' had to
be sent to sea or to the shipyards, S
but those who were left behind grew ffl
in wealth and the islands generally I
prospered as a result of the intelli- I
gent despotism. 5
