Cattails are Part of
Rural Boys' Childhood
Cattails have played an im
portant part in the childhood
of most rural Americans.
These tall plants have been as
much a part of childhood as
stubbed toes or skinned knees.
They are about the first
plant that boys would identify
positively. Its habits and sim
ple beauty are evident in
swampy areas. Those marshy
spots that are homevto the cat
tail are alien to most common
flowers, for these live in a
wet environment.
Noise Makers
We know the frogs, the noise
makers of the marshy areas;
we know the tall, green leaves,
and brown fruit of the cattails,
nodding stiffly on their long
stems. Perhaps we have pulled
some up, noticed that the nar
row leaves wrap around one
another, below and above the
root. The . leaves are longer
than the round, smooth stem
that holds the cattail.
Early in the spring, the
green leaves begin to sprout
among the old, dead cattail
leaves of the summer before.
In September when most oth
er plants are gone, the big,
brown cattails are seen, wav
ing stiffly in the wind. Later
they swell and burst, like
slender ears of corn. Thus
are the seeds scattered.
Simple are the flowers, be
ing made up of seed producing
blossoms, while the light-colored
part of the head, above,
supplies the pollen. The pollen
falls down on the spike to fer
tilize it. The plant does not
depend on bird or insect, but
lets gravity do the polleniza
tion. This arrangement is differ
ent than in most plants, but it
is effective, for the cattail clan
continues to thrive. Even in
areas, and at times when the
roots are dug and used as hu
man food, the plant keeps
ahead of its tormenters.
Cottony Fruit
In early America, the cot
tony fruit was stripped from
the stem and used as stuffing
for ticks and mattresses. Boys,
as well as men, gathered the
brown cylinders, dipped them
in kerosene, and carried them,
aflame, for torches. In political
parades, the celebrants waved
the flaming "tails" to cele
brate a victory, or to cheer a
candidate.
Grown now to men, the boys
who spotted the cattails can
still dimly see this common
dweller of the marshes, stand
ing in the twilight, along the
side of a nearly forgotten road;
the old sandy road is now a
concrete ribben over which
motor cars rush toward the
horizon; the night is stabbed
with the blinding lights of
those cars, yet by the road's
edge, in silent dignity, the
cattails still maintain their
ceaseless vigil.

Tribune Syndicate, 1959)
