Show The "True Shamrock." Tho "truo shamrock" to an Irishman, Irish-man, Is tho plant which Is known by that nanio around tho spot of his or his father's birth. But tho botanist has us much trouble In Identifying It as ho has in identifying tho "mayflow or" of Now England, a nnmo which Is applied In different localities to tho trailing arbutus, to tho snxlfrngo, to tho liopatica and to two or three other plants. In spite of tho fact that tho linlllnnr arbutus Is tho lnayfiowei of New England literature, tho word Is much more commonly nnd populnrly applied to tho snxlfrngo than it Is to the arbutus. |
