DOWNY YELLOW VIOLET 4 "When beechen buds begin to swell And woods the bluebirds' warble know, The yellow violet's modest bell Peeps from the last year s leaves ; —Bryant. In northern Ohio the chances are that the Downy Yellow is the first of the Violet family to make an ap- pearance. A few stray Blue ones are likely to come about the same time, but usually a few days later. The ex- act order of precedence among wild flowers can never be definitely set- tled, as they vary in time of flowering some- times a week or more, weather that hastens one seeming to retard another; but ordinarily the Downy Yellow is our first Violet and appears abundantly by the middle of April; also blooms in May. In size and shape the blossom is ~ ^t unlike the Commo e. It appears solitary on a stalk spring- ing from fork of tw ^ eaf-stalks. The anthers and style fairly fill the throat of the flower, and the side petals, heavily bearded, compel the visiting insect to brush against both stigma and anthers when seeking the nectar stored in the spur. At first the plant is about four inches high; later in the season it becomes considerably taller. 155. Smooth Yellow Violet. Viola scabriiscula.
