Far more common, however, is the Eed Valerian 

 (Oentranthus ruber}, with its deep rose-tinted clusters 

 of flowers, opposite leaves green and smooth, of a 

 sea-green tint. It is frequently found on old churches, 

 and possesses similar properties to the Water-side 

 Valerian, the setewall of our forefathers. 



Long ere the valerian has ceased to bloom, the 

 shadowa begin to lengthen and the autumn flowers to 

 Dlow.
