Vitis-idaa vitis-idcea (thrifty) Rarely survived. Most of these plants were found on Soluka Creek in theupland bog from which the ash was cleared away, as mentionedabove. The reason for the survival of these plants they were practically exterminated around lies not in any i^eculiarity of the species in the accident of a favorable Photograph by D. B. Church PATCHES OF RESURRECTED HERBAGE IN CLEARED AREAS. Contrast the bare ground still covered with ash round about. The roots from which these plants grew up were buried for three years until the ash was swept away by the Great Flood of July, 1915.
