Abstract:

A theory advanced some time ago by Dr. F. W. Went, Director of the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, offers the explanation that the blue haze commonly seen over the Blue Ridge Mountains is due to the presence of organic matter which drifts into the atmosphere from trees and plants growing on the mountains.
