Easterling, Secretary of the Commission. 8:26-9:2-9 WILDLIFE J Nature Feature Ey National j j Wildlife Federation I Some may know this plant as j dragon's head or as lion's heart i and few would be likfely to consi jder.that either a lion or a dra- 1 gori might be considered as obe (dient. Some botany texts list it as belonging to the genus Dra | cocephalum while others list it as belonging to the gtenus Pity jsostegia. In . either case however | it is a mint. Some consider that the species of Physotegia should ] be called false dragon head while | the snecies of Dracocepbalum j | should be called dragon's-head. J i Whatever school you wish to fol- 1 j low you will possibly agree that | the name is not too important I and has little or no effect on the beauty of the pale lilac flowers of the plant. This plant grows wild in waste j places and along banks of streams where there is some dampness from New Brunswick to Maryland and west to Minne sota and Missouri with the range extending south in the j highlands of North Carolina and Tennessee. In some places the | OBEDIENT-PLANT ?1953 National Wlktlif* foferaftoa plant Is cultivated as an orna i.iental and It 1s listed commonly in books dealing primarily with attractive wild flowers. " Obedient plant grows to a height of nearly 5 feet with the four-sided stem smooth branch ed and usually more slender in [the upper areas. The leaves are opposite, coarsely but shaUowly notched along the margins and often with short undeveloped branches in the axils. As suggested earlier, the flow ers are pale lilac, roseate or even purple, with some being wnite. j The corollas are to over one inch j long and narrowest at the base I and appear to be swollen in the middle. The stamens are common i ly enclosed completely by the cor olla but the branched tip of the pistil is long and appears beyond the corolla tip. Tne flowers ap pear in July and. August, 'ftie spike of flowers may be to 8 in jches in length. The flowers are | sensitive to handling and because ol this the. piant gets the name obedient plant. ! When grown in gardens, obe dient plant may be propagated by seeds or the underground parts may be divided and trans planted. * j While the flowers of obedient 'plant are attxactive to bees that f visit them and assist in pollina 1 1 ion the plant is not considered as an important source of honey. 'This isiargely because the plant [ is not usually found in sufficient I abundance to compete with other I plants that are as good or better. | It is obviously more valuable as a garden ornamental than as a honey plant. It may now and then escape from cultivation and establish itself precariously in some regions where conditions are ideal for its development.

' Dressmaker shears have a cer tain weight and are made with a bow handle consisting of a large oval, and a smaller oval. Two or three fingers of the cut ting hand can be inserted in the large oval, thus making possible greater force and long, clean cut ting strokes, even on heavy ma terial. The most efficient type of dressmaker shears is called a bent trimmer. . When cutting a garment from a pattern use good shears. Place material on . a flat surface and use long, clean strokes. For an basy, quick seam finish use pinking shears. Pinking shears have blades with jagged j edg?s and produce a satisfactory finish for closely woven fabrics. They are not planned for cutting out a pattern from fabric, and if mo used will produce a very poor result. ] . Scissors are light and have ring .handles, sightly oval aiul of e qual Size. Only one linger is used in each handle, since no special effort is required. They have slim blades and sharp points for 'clipping threads, and ripping seams, etc. Us*? your dressmaker shears I and sewing scissors for fabric on ly ? never cut paper except Us sue paper patterns. An occasional drop of machine oil at the screw is essential ? be sure to wipe it off carefully.
