The above list, enumerating 44 species, although containing a few 
species, of Salix for instance, which did not happen to get observed in 
the early spring of 1910, and doubtless omitting a few plants, such as 
Tussilago, which had certainly flowered but which no one at the con- 
ference had observed in the spring of 1917, is sufficient evidence of the 
tardiness of the season and of the great range in the flowering season 
from year to year of the earlier flowering plants of New England.—
