We see from the above that the order of the ten plants in 
our schedule and the tables, is not the exact order of flowering 
in the Province as a whole. The Red Maple and Blue Violet 
change places, as do also the Apple and the Buttercup. And the 
order for the Province is noc that for each county. In Yarmouth 
and Shelburne, the Dandelion (4) and Strawberry (5) come 
ahead of the Red Maple and the Violet. The Blueberry (7) in 
the five South Southwestern counties comes ahead of the Wild 
Cherry (6); while in the case of the Apple (8) and Buttercup 
(9) they are in normal order while in the following counties they 
are mostly reversed.
