THE MYRTLE WAIILIR

On May 7th I observed s small bird fly towards tho Pumillllllll‘ and flutter enorgotlcdll 0h l7" shingles as it alllhted. ust as if ll were striving to catch some Insect I thought. The yellow patch on its crown along with other markings told me that I was looking at u male Myrtle Warbler. This. or l skirmtshinl round the west sl-de of the house. next dsy.

Myrtle Warbler, A.O.U. U5- Summer resident. M e: head ashy blue heavily marked lack; m oval yellow patch on the crown. Upper parts (back, etc), bluish grey. streaked black; win two white bars, rump wth a ‘JBUOW patch. Tall with a white patch on each outer angle. Underpants:

throat white. breast heavily mark- ed black, sides of breast each with ~ s ycllcw patch, rest of uflderpa is white strongly streaked black. o female is duller in hue. the blue o! the head and back sivins 91w: w a brownish color. Length 5.6 lncn- es, (May 7. 1946).

Dr. Taverner says that the yel- low rump is always distinct and bright, and makes the most con- spicuous flald mark. Nash tells us to look for the four yellow patch- ea, viz, on crown, sides, and rum . “Our commonest warbler"— oir s of P.E.I., 1938. In winter in the far south, the umage of both birds is duller an the markings obscure The bird takes its name from its favorite food, the berries of the Wax Myrtle. a species of Gale (pron. Gay-lee.) It also eats the berries of the Ilex, Sumach. and many other bushes. varying it: diet with insects. It leaves us in September. to wi-nter as far south as Panama.

NATURE NOTES

These cherry har ihgers of better days are, as a. rule, bulbous plants. originating in Europe and improved by the lant breeders of- Holland. The affodll is the species of Narcissus best known here. being rizerl for its trumpt-shaped cup. e earli- est. to bloom in my garden - ll "Golden flair," with a lunz- ' C"? exquisitely frilled and furrawcd. It began to bloom on May 6th. The good old stand-by “King Alfred another long-trumpet, ii just showing color, May 16th. The win- (Eranthls) which be- gan to bloom March 80. and lasted for nearly three wfeks, is now well ahead with its litte seedpods. It is very early but I had to put a box over it in wintry weather. A little later came the Iberian Bqulll (Bcilla slborlca). It is not a great favorite with me. for one sees only the back of its pendant blue flow- ers. It must be admitted. however, that a large patch of this Scilla would give a prominent color of-' fect in the border. It readily forms seedpods and increases fast. Then. in a pocket. of the rockery. I have two species of Ciiianodoxa. C. luciliae, a bright blue with a white centre, and C Tmoli with a rather larger flower and a fort.- nlght later in blooming. These are small “bunchy" flowers that de- serve more general cultivation, They increase rapidly by seed. The Grape Hyacinths (Muscari) are in the bud state as yet: I grow mem but am not too satisfied with lhem the flower-spikes are "solid" and clumsy. The early "Cloth of 301d Crocuses did not do well this year, I moved them to the rockery last fall and they have not recovered from the shock. The well-known Garden Crocus (C. grandifloru) is just going out of bloom. All of these spring flowers except the daffodils, are of low growth. which is something of an advantage in a season so blustery as our ring. Now that trade with Hollan i-s reviving it should not be hard for readers to obtain these charming plants. though the price may be higher now.

We have u native larch which we call a juni- er: bears a cone. but casts its eaves in the fall instead of rc- mslnlng evergreen. The Burop an tree, sometimes called thejingfiah Larch, has a larger cone and long- er leaves of tender green. In Aut- umn tho leaves turn a etty yel- low, before falling. I ave one tree raised from seed and now about l0 feet high. (One year a rabbit ate off all the branches it could reach; it must. prove ac- ceptable browse for these animals.) I went to look at my larch the oth- or day and saw that it was laden with immature cones. These were little rose-pink bolls, half an irch in diameter. raely sprinkled with short wh to filaments. As they were plentiful, the tree .ook— ed as if laden with pink flowers.

Cutting trees on Wiruloe Road. Aa a reparation for widening this road t was inevitable that the trees on each side of the present road should be cut down. No doubt it gives the road a bare, deserted look. as a resident recently said: but. that cannot be he ed. When the road is finally wl ened and fenced it could be beautifled by planting Schwl-eder maples and other hardy ornamental trees (not forgetting the aforesaid Larch) st intervals, close to the fence. The Brackley Point Road “looks rare . and deserted" too, for that mutter and needs the same treatment.

In the old days. About ten miles from town, the Brackley Pt. Road crosses a considerable stream locally known as Duff's Brook. As one might expect the roadway descends to the brook on either side. On the top of the hill south of the brook was an avenue of closely planted spruce trees (now towfi thirty-five years ago was tedious but on a whiter’: night with horse and sleigh, the miles slipped b_v. Lookin along the avenue tor "tunne " as I termed it.) one of- ten got a glimpse of the aurora flaring in the northern sky, and a little urther an. the declivlty. red- dencd by the glare, gleamed like the descent to Dante's Infe nol

That avenue yielded som note- worthy botanical specimens. The Morel (lidorchelia comics) grew 1n the shade of the spruce: in Eng- land it i's said ‘to be the best of the edible fungi but is rather scarce. Growing on s decayed log ,0! far away, I found the beautiful Coral Hydnum, (H. coralloldes) also edible; this is the only time I have come across it. Closely appressed to the ground but in parasitic cun- nectlon with the spruce roofs, was the fungus Rhyzina inflata, look- ing something ,like a dirty leather disc. At the mouth of the "tunnel" Idrscovcred the Pale Co-rydalis 1Q. sempervirena), rather rare in this locality, but deserving of a place in the arden. It has oratty

ink and yellow flowers and glaucous foliage.

Pink ‘Arabia. Six years ago I got a package of seed from England labelled “Arabia alplna pinlt"_ It did not bloom at all the first year, being a permniai, and only a lit- tle the second year. This spring it is fully acclimatlzed, and affords a welcome contrast to the white form. But it has a neater, dwarfer habit than has A. alpinu: and from its colorit must be A.aubrietln|des, a agecies with a clumsy name and a c arming flower.

T1 MUSICAL IIQTIVAL

All who attehded the Festival from this district, assure me that it was a "great success‘, an opinion that should give satisfaction to all who have so generously gi-van oi their time and talents to maka it so. It is an auspicious start and without doubt the success will be greater next year because the youthful singers now "know the ropes", as the saying goes.

I was glad to sea that Harring-

ton School gave s good account of itself. I taught school at Harring- ,ton when I first came to the Island and noted that the old folks as well as the children. were good singers; possibly because there was a church choir there. We gavc some good concerts. with pieces ilk-a the ‘loldies-‘s Chorus" from Faust. etc. 111st must be thirty or ‘more years s o, and most of those singers. my od friends. have passed on.

I was glad to hear that a singer from Buckley Point made a hit: This was little Carol MacCsiium. the yoim sst to win the ribbon: she ws our yssrs old and stood third in her class which included ‘girls twice her ago.

IDRUS DAY OBBBRVANCE

Dear Readers of Tidings: _

How easy it is for many of us to slip into a careless keeping of the Sabbath. If Saturday appens in. be a particularly busy day. with many household cares, a large family, snd outside interests as well, it is often difficult to finish up the necessary work before we wearlly go to bed on Saturday night. Consequently it often hap- pens that we sleep loo late on Sun- day morning and the ensuing rush affects the whole family. An ir- ritated state of mind, an untidy house, and an attitude out of kee - ing with the Lord's Day, sendstae members of the family off to Sun- day school or services in a mood not conductive to worship Or sometimes the belated preparation of food, or a too elaborate Sunday dinner sends the housewife off to church in a frenzied state-if she goes at all! Too often Sunday be- comes the buaiest. workday, or at

ary weekday to us mothers.

Surely these things are not pleasing to the Lord, And if we arc goin to get to the root of the prob em of Lord's Day Observance,

t0 begin in our own homes. In Ex, 34:21. we are admonished to rest both in caring time and harvest time. In Ne. 10:31. it. tells us that one is not allowed to buy or sell on that day. In Ex. 16:37. it states that those who went out to gather manna found none on the Sabbath. They had been reminded to gather enou h for the Sabbath on the prev ous day. Ne. 13:16. we read of ordinary everyday _work being done quite freely and the prophet testifies against them before God. en will we learn to keep the Sabbath day holy? Let each one of us ask ourselves: "Isn't there room for improvement in the way I am bringing u my family to ob- serve Sunday? frat there some- thing I can do right away-next Sunday for example-lo teach ..|y- self and my family the proper, holy way of keeping Sunday " May the Lord o n our eyes to the need of more ove and respect for the Lord's Day snd may we re- alize that the customs of our prov- ince rest to a. great extent on you and me.

In His Service,

Mrs. Geo. Hendrlckson.
