ordinary as a wildflower can
take an awful lot of study, if
one really wants to get to
know it. It is true that the
more we know about beauty,
the more we appreciate it, so
we are intrigued to learn the
family names of our favorite
flowers, where they grow,
and although most of us do
not “speak botanese” we
want to know the flowers’
botanical name.
A very helpful booklet on
this subject has been
published by Carroll Abbott,
a plant specialist from
Kerrville. Through the
efforts of Abbott, Dr. Mary
Huey, president of Texas
Women’s University and
Rep. Earnestine Glosbren-
ner, ah annual Texas
Wildflower Day has been
proclaimed by Gov. Bill
Clements. Abbott was
emcee for the day’s
activities in Denton, April
24.5
In his book, “How to
Know and Grow Texas
Wildflowers”, he emphasiz-
es the need for keeping
notes “for memory is the
worst liar in the world”.
Since flowers cannot fly,
swim, gallop, or wiggle,
hunting them can be fun or
frustration. Sometimes as
many as 100 kinds may be
found within walking dis-
tance of one’s home.
A. Seed and plant collecting
1* a_challenge. The
blooming plant must be
flagged for later identifica-
tion, then after gathering
the seeds, they may be kept
for months before proper
planting. Mother nature
produces such an abundance
of seeds that ten per cent
germination makes a good
crop. Bluebonnet seeds,
and some others, may wait
25 years to germinate, also
some tree seeds, such as the
black walnut takes two years
to germinate. But some
seeds will start growing
within four days.
The annusl spring show
put on by wildflowers in
Archer County is worth
anyone’s time. The
roadsides on Hwy 25 and 79,
thanks to hlep from the
Texas highway department,
are beautiful, even in a dry
spring like this one. Why
the Chamber of Commerce,
or someone, does not have
planned tours is hard to
understand. In many of the
back pastures, the show is
even more gorgeous. Here
there are no bluebonnets,
because these flowers have
only been introduced here
within recent times. On
rocky hills, we see the
delicate rock daisies, yucca,
pentstemon, wine-cups, buf-
falo beans, coreopsis, sage,
phlox and rattlesnake flow-
ers. All of these are a part
of God’s blessings for which
man can claim no credit!
Ida Hawkins
Archer Flower ft Gift and
the Archer Co. News gave
us coverage. There were
many family members pre-
sent and we appreciate the
good turn out.
Friday afternoon Richard
Young came to sing for us.
He is leaving to go to
Seminary full time. We
appreciate all the many good
things he has done for lus.
We than had refreshments
and a party for him. May
God bless her family and
minim ry.
