MARCH ACTIVITIES

The wild Rosa setigera, unlike the Cherokee, has deciduous foUage; it gives similar results 

 in the higher latitudes where the Cherokee will not grow 



resurrection month in the land of Cypress, Corn and Cotton, 

 below Mason and Dixon's line. My garden book shows that for 

 three succeeding years, March winds have brought to me the 

 spicy sweetness of the Hyacinths, have opened the golden bells 

 of the Daffodils, and the rich cups of the Iris and Tulips. March 

 comes in laden with the breath of Violets and goes out shaking 

 the snowy petals of the Spiraeas, lighting the flaming torches of 

 the fiery Cydonias, and scattering sunshine under the long stems 

 of the fragrant yellow Jasmines and dainty Banksia Roses.
