Watkins (Register and Tribune Syndicate-1961) Meat a Flower That Looks Like a Preacher You would have to be a pretty sophisticated person in deed not to be mildly thrilled at the sight of the jack-in-the-pulpit plants that usually grow so plentifully in wet woodlands during the early spring. In nearly any area where the ground retains consider able moisture throughout the year, especially in the early spring and summer, the little plant can be found happily nodding stiffly its canopied head in breezes sifting through the forest trees. Jack always seems anxious to come up, sometimes over plays his hand by appearing above the forest floor before the snow is gone and seeming ly before the gripping hand of frost has not loosened from the earth. A warm spring rain often will fool the plant, and it pokes its nose up into the shaded light long before more timid wild flowers dare show their faces. Jack-in-the-pulpit belongs to the arum family, another member of which is held in rather low esteem; the skunk cabbage. But Jack is an all- time favorite with children that walk the early woodland paths. Like a Preacher They liken it to just what it appears to be a small, dig nified preacher, with a sound ing board over his head, talk ing to all the friends and neighbors of his woodland so ciety. Really jack-in-the-pulpit came by his name in a natural and logical manner. A long time ago pulpits in old church es always had a nood over them. Probably for this reason the jack-in-the-pulpit was likened to that in churches because of the rounded canopy, and of course to the little "min ister" who always stands stif fly erect within it; he just had to be "Jack." Under favorable conditions the pulpit under which Jack stands is a rich purple color; but if direct sunlight pene trates the forest the canopy over his head becomes a light shade of green, sometimes streaked with purple veins. Deep Brown In some plants the hood may be a deep shade of brown. If you fold back the edges of the tube where it is split down the side, you will find at the bottom of the spike a dense cluster of tiny green flowers. In some plants there will be only stamens; in others only seed vessels. These tiny flowers have no .petals. The leaves of the jack-in- the pulpit are made up In al three - pointed arrangement with smooth edges. The leaves have short stalks which clasp the stem at the base. Each plant usually have two leaves "Jack" is really the spadix, or spike. All this is cool scientific fact. Better, however, are the words and the message con veyed by one of the beloved poems of childhood: Jack in the Puplit preaches today, Under the trees, just over the way. Green is his surplice, green are his hands, In his queer little pulpit, the little priest stands.
