Excerpt from Our Early Wild Flowers: A Study of the Herbaceous Plants Becoming in Early Spring in the Northern States Spring greatly in uences the opening of the owers; but really this in uence is much less than one might think it would be; the spring owers are very much like the spring birds, they appear when they are due with very little regard to the immediate weather; they obey the summons of the sun. They may not come so abundantly, but they come on time. By April 20, in the Middle West, the earliest owers are past and the full ora well under way. In New England the season is later.
