You can generally find small flies within the 
Jack-in-the-pulpit blossoms. These carry the 
pollen from the stamen-bearers to the pistil-bear- 
ers and so bring about pollination. After this the 
stamen-bearing blossoms fade away while the 
CORMS OF JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT 
pistil-bearing blossoms develop green berries 
which become bright red toward the end of sum- 
mer. 
_ This plant is a very widely distributed species, 
being found from Nova Scotia to Florida and 
west as far as Minnesota and Louisiana. 
“ Jack-in-the- Pulpit 
Preaches to-day 
Under the green leaves 
Just over the way.”
