Reports from the foresters in the
southern part of tbe State are to tbe
effect thai tbe State Flower, mountain laurel, is beginning to blossom,
Milford Bratton, Director of the
Bureau of Parks, Department of Forests and Waters, said.
This beautiful- evergreen; is expected to be in fullbloom throughout Pennsylvania by the end of
this week and in most sections the
flowers wilf. remain until tbe beginning of July,
Bite to car, tire and gasoline rationing, it is likely that many of the
annual! laural festivals may be cancelled this year, but since these plants
grow on State Forest land close to
numerous communities, they are
within easy walking distance.
Mountain laurel may grow to a
height of forty feet is the southern
states but seldom is more then ten
feet tall in Pennsylvania. The •pink
and white clutters of flowers are
beautiful ia color, design and symmetry. This evergreen foliage contrasts well witb tbe red and yellow
branches.
Mountain laurel or one of its
varieties are desirable ornamentals
for beautifying home grounds aaa
can be planeted in early spring or
fall Tbe plants dislike cfay and
limestone soils but thrive in sandy
or' c"amy soils wbich are acid in reaction1.
