False Solomon's Seal is a tidy-look- ing httle plant, bearing a row of narrow, parallel-veined leaves on each side of the stem and a raceme of small, star- shaped, delicate white flowers at the end. "Seal" refers to the marks on the underground rootstock. 6. Early Meadow Rue.—This plant does not have showy flowers, but always attracts atten- tion on account of its neat False Solomons compound leaves, which ap- . pear very early in the spring. The blos- "^ sonis are interesting, for the pistillate and staminate flowers grow on separate plants. There are no petals, and the sepals usually fall oft' early, so that the flower consists merely of a cluster of pistils in one case and of stamens in the other. When this species is known other meadow rues may be found later in the season and easily identified by their similar appearance. 7. Pennsylvanian Anemone.—A plant, 12 to 18 inches in height, bearing several attractive white flowers above.
