This Then is Upland Pastures
by Adeline Knapp
This Then is Upland Pastures : Being some out-door essays dealing with the beautiful things that the spring and summer bring.
A bank where wake-robin lifts its bonny head is always fair to see. The plant has certain boon companions always sure to be close at hand. The Solomon’s seal is one of these, its roots bearing to this day the round marks imagined by the early foresters to be none other than the seal of Solomon, the son of David, (on both of whom be peace!) There is no more exquisite green than the beautiful, shining leaves of this plant, with its tiny white bells of flowers. It has a near relative almost always growing near it, that, with singular paucity of imagination, our botanists have called “False Solomon’s Seal.”
