SOME PHENOLOGICAL RECORDS OF SPRING FLOWER- 

 ING PLANTS OF HENRY COUNTY. 



H. E. JAQUES. 



For four years, a record has been kept of the date of the first 

 floA\er to be found growing in open ground out of doors, of our 

 native and introduced plants of Henry county. In practice 

 nearly all of the specimens have come from in and arouiid IVIount 

 Pleasant. INIuch of the collecting has been done by students in 

 the college classes, the number employed each year ranging from 

 fifteen to forty. .

The plan followed has created such keen rivalry among the 

 collectors that the dates represent the earliest appearance of 

 flowers. The dissemination of pollen has been the test of the 

 flowering stage in cases of doubt. The number of species re- 

 ported up to June 1 have averaged about 240.
