During the last two years phenological observations have been made upon various plants in the arboretum. The notes on herbaceous plants and such woody plants as grow in the bog, were made in 1892 by Thomas Doss. His notes for 1893, on the same plants, were unfortunately lost. Notes upon the other woody plants were made in 1892 by F. W. Dewart and in 1893 by the writer, whom the Director of the Garden has requested to prepare these notes for publication. Students of natural history have, from time to time, published observations upon the date of leafing, flowering and fruiting of plants, have cited the relation of climate to plant growth, and touched upon the importance of this study to the practical cultivator. Among American publi- cations upon the subject may be mentioned those by Britton, in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club, vi, 211 and 235; Henry, in the Report of the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin, 1891, p. 35; Trelease, in the Report of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Wisconsin for 1883, p. 56, 1884, p. 59; Halsted, in lowa Agricultural College Bulletin, 1886, p. 43; and Pammel in Bulletin of the Torrey Botan- ical Club, xix, 375. An article on ‘the philosophy of the flower seasons,’’ by Henry L. Clarke, appeared in The American Naturalist of September, 1893. These observations are of value from several stand-points. The time of leafing, flowering and fruiting of a species (123) 124 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. largely governs its position and importance in planting. In selecting specimens it is desirable to know the date that each blooms, so that the different species of the collection, flowering at different times, may represent the longest pos- sible period of bloom. Very early bloomers like Forsythia, autumn flowering sorts, like Witch Hazel and all those that flower when there is little else to gladden the eye, are always sought. For landscape effect, the time of leafing and fruiting is of equal importance. The Virginia Creeper, while it is an excellent summer cover, is perhaps most appreciated for a short time in autumn, when it assumes that crimson tinge, quite in keeping with the season, after many of the deciduous sorts have shed their leaves. The fact that some sorts carry their fruit into the winter months adds much to their value and helps to determine their relative positions in a planting. The ripening rose hips, turning from green to golden, red and brown, the fruits of Euony- mus or Burning Bush, the Christmas Holly, with its bright red berries, rich foliage and rugged twigs, each have a winter beauty that is best brought out after a careful study of their phenological characteristics. The different stages of the season’s growth of trees and shrubs indicate to the meteorologist conditions of tempera- ture that cannot be definitely arrived at by any mechanical method. While the thermometer may register the actual temperature of the atmosphere or soil at any given time, it does not, by any means, measure the sum total of heat that has been received, during a given period, as does a certain stage in the development of buds or leaves. This fact is taken advantage of by the cultivator. In planting for a succession of vegetables, for example, a difference of four weeks, in sowing the seed, may result in a difference of only one or two weeks in maturing the plants for the table. The time to plant, then, may be indicated by the rapidity of growth of trees and shrubs. The phenological characteristics of plants also aid in PHENOLOGICAL NOTES. 125 determining species. Most species of the wild grape, for example, have periods of flowering that are relatively quite definite. This is an aid to the botanist in classifying specimens that are otherwise variable. In the following tables the herbaceous and woody plants are listed separately for more convenient reference to each class. The nomenclature of North American species con- forms to Patterson’s Check List of North American Plants, which is easily accessible, while its nomenclature is universally known. To facilitate comparison with the phenology of plants in Europe, an asterisk is placed after species included in the list of the Royal Meteorological Society of Great Britain,* and a dagger is placed after species included in the list of the Botanischer Verein der Provinz Branden- burg.f In the notes on woody plants, (1) indicates that at the time of writing (Jan. 25, 1894) the leaves have not entirely fallen, and (2) indicates that some fruit remains on the plant through the winter. * Cf. list of Rev.
