  [November, 
  

  

  its 
  leaves 
  were 
  downy. 
  The 
  flowers 
  of 
  L, 
  ochroleucus 
  were 
  

   very 
  pale, 
  barely 
  tinged 
  with 
  yellow. 
  

  

  Rosa 
  Eno-eJmanni 
  Watson 
  was 
  the 
  most 
  common 
  species 
  

   of 
  rose 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  region, 
  exceeding 
  in 
  abundance 
  R. 
  Car- 
  

   olina, 
  the 
  only 
  other 
  kind 
  noticed. 
  Along 
  the 
  shore 
  of 
  Ver- 
  

   milion 
  Lake 
  the 
  bushes 
  sometimes 
  reached 
  a 
  height 
  of 
  six 
  or 
  

   seven 
  feet, 
  and 
  almost 
  everywhere 
  had 
  a 
  remarkably 
  thrifty 
  

   look. 
  There 
  is 
  an 
  appearance 
  about 
  the 
  plant 
  not 
  altogether 
  

   easy 
  to 
  describe, 
  since 
  it 
  appeals 
  to 
  the 
  eve 
  and 
  needs 
  to 
  be 
  

   seen 
  for 
  adequate 
  appreciation, 
  though 
  if 
  may 
  in 
  general 
  be 
  

   designated 
  by 
  thriftiness. 
  This 
  makes 
  it 
  look 
  quite 
  different 
  

   from 
  R. 
  blanda, 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  apt 
  to 
  be 
  confounded. 
  It 
  is 
  

   very 
  leafy 
  and 
  has 
  large, 
  well 
  pronounced 
  leaflets, 
  broad 
  in 
  

   proportion 
  to 
  their 
  length 
  as 
  compared 
  with 
  R. 
  blanda, 
  thougli 
  

   not 
  always 
  so, 
  usually 
  softlv 
  pubescent 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  upper 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  stem. 
  The 
  time 
  of 
  flowering 
  had 
  passed, 
  but 
  as 
  

   the 
  fruit 
  ip 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  main 
  distinctions, 
  it 
  was 
  easy 
  to 
  iden- 
  

   tity. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  handsome 
  shrub, 
  with 
  its 
  large 
  prominently- 
  

   veined 
  leaflets, 
  palish 
  and 
  finely 
  set 
  off 
  by 
  an 
  abundance 
  of 
  

   red 
  or 
  reddish-yellow 
  fruit. 
  The 
  younger 
  shoots 
  are 
  some- 
  

   tnnes 
  glaucous 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  leaves 
  beneath. 
  The 
  hips 
  

   were 
  mainly^ 
  obovate-oblong, 
  rather 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  an 
  inch 
  

   m 
  length 
  The 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  bushes 
  varied 
  with 
  the 
  soil; 
  

   lower 
  and 
  fertile 
  ground 
  they 
  were 
  tall 
  and 
  branching 
  more 
  

   neeiy, 
  m 
  poor 
  soil, 
  such 
  as 
  supported 
  Pinus 
  Banksiana, 
  low 
  

   and 
  more 
  slender.
