SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1920 Wild Flower Preservation. a Several times in the last few wooks the attention of the public has been directed to the problem of protecting the wild flowers. The Chicago Chap- ter of the Wild Flower Preservation Society have, according to The Post, protested against the sale of wild flowers in the market and are pre- paring to take such measures as will prevent the picking of wild flowers, especially by professional flower pickers. With the possible exception of The Dunes Park no section of the coun- try near Chicago, has such wonderful varieties of wild flowers as are to be found on the North Shore. It is within the recollection of many resi- dents when Orchis (Lady Slippers), Turks Caps, Arbutus, Blood Root, Gentian, Hypatica and many other varieties grew in profusion within our borders. To date there are practi- cally none of these to be found in Winnetka. Quoting from the above mentioned article in regard to cultivating gar- | dens of wild flowers in states, "It cannot be done practically, and in- stead of increasing the growth of wild flowers will merely serve to destroy it. It requires no little amount of skill and experience to transplant wild flowers, and there are few persons who have the yecessary knowledge of how to do this." The Herald-Examiner comments editori- ally and quite forcibly along similar lines saying "Enjoy the wild flowers but do not pick them." The Chicago Daily News also adds a word to the same effect. It will therefore be of special in- terest to the residents of Winnetka to know that wild flowers, vines, trees or shrubs are protected by law as an ordinance passed in June of last year provides that "No person shall cut, break or otherwise injure or destroy any flower, vine, shrub or tree other than his own within the village of Winnetka." A penalty of not less than one dollar and not more than fifteen dollars is provided for each offense. In this connection the village authorities are prepared to rigidly enforce this law and they should have the good will and support of every man, woman and child to the end that Winnetka may retain her wild flowers for many generations to come. : The writer counted seventy-four blossoms and roots of wild flowers in less than two blocks which had been thrown away or dropped on the way to the cars. Many times have we seen automobiles piled high with wild crab branches and it is not un- usual to see whole bunches of wild flowers discarded on Sheridan Road where they have been thrown away because they were all wilted. After all it is generally thoughtless- ness which prompts many individuals to try and see how big a bunch of wild flowers they can pick, not stop- ping to realize that perhaps they have destroyed that many plant lives in so doing. Then there is a small per- centage who believe that the law ap- plies to every one but themselves and there is some peculiar reason why they should be exempt. We are glad to believe that the number of such selfish ones is indeed small We believe that the teachers in the schools can, if so disposed, be of in- valuable assistance in this work by explaining the reason why the wild flowers should not-be picked. The Boy Scouts could do much in this good work especially by kindly ad- monition and explanation to the younger children. Indeed this work deserves the attention of such organi- zations as the Woman's Club, Ameri- can Legion, and should not be beneath the notice of such organiza- tions. . Let us all get behind this move- ment to protect the wild flowers and do the job in the regular Winnetka way. Are you with us? Mr. and Mrs. Gustavus W.
