MAY AND JUNE.

devotes all the rest of its strength to strawberries. 

 Furthermore, there is only one yellow-flowered straw- 

 berry {Fragaria Indica), and this is not very com- 

 mon ; I found it once in Staten 

 Island some years ago, and 

 have not seen it since. The 

 common cinquefoil blooms 

 from June to September. But 

 there is a ^Aree-leaved cinque- 

 foil, and, for the sake of com- 

 parison, I have carefully drawn 

 it. 



Norway Cinqusfoil. The Norway 

 Fotentilla Norvegica- cinouefoil is 



a tall branching plant with a 

 leaf of three divisions and a 

 very hairy appearance. It has 

 a yellow flower similar to P. 

 Canadensis / but, after all, the 

 similarity is slight if 

 my drawings are care- 

 fully compared. I 

 found this plant bloom- 

 ing in early August 

 within three feet of 

 my studio window ; it 

 did not seem to be in common cmquefoii.
