weeks later than in the neighborhood of New York, and earlier 

 than .S. graminoides by about the same length of time. In Ontario 

 it comes into flower during the first half of June, while farther

 seems to be rather earlier, often beginning in the first days of 

 June, or even before. The only example seen from as far north 

 as the Mackenzie River was just in flower July 20th.
