"I do not know what to ramble aboutthis week," Lucy ret'nar to the friend Who cares for her flowers. 'Weedsl''• suggested elle of the,greell-tbumb in trite earcae as Lucy sat by and Watched her (Wel( eye SPotting the,floW while her strong fingers eproeted their enemies. "Weeds!" thought Lucy to herself, "It is a never ending ba to keep vegetable AN flower beds free of them!" What is ,.a weed? The Ontario Department of Agricultere bulletin 409 answers the question thus: "A plant out of place "any injurious, troublesome, co- unsightly Plant that ie at same time.useless, or cOlnearatiVelY. Po;" "a plant wh interferes with the growth of the crop to which the field temporarily devoted," Under the heading "Injurioes Effects of Weeds." Lucy surprised to learn that besides' crpwding, taking. plant I from the soil, and choking put crops which are eown, absorb a great deal of moisture frPrn the grpund, for exam) mustard - each plant pump from the soil about fourt ounces or seven-tenths of a pint per day. It was also pain out that a weedy farm is unsightly„ No mall cares to buy a we place if he can secure a clean one; And that took Lucy back pyer half a century ago when cousins, Mrs. George Woods and daughters Raby, Nan and I lived on the little farm "Bona Vista" on the lakeshore (most it is now the Paul Bunyon Trailer Came). , In the summer the girls wprked in ehe fields pulling reusta and wild earl*, and,, also eradicating the latter on the la bank. They were well-tanped but not from sunbathing on t beach although a swim was often included after work. Th later mother had pride, as had most farmers in those days, keeping her land free from mustard and wild carrot - chief offenders. There was no lack of summer employment for school' childr in that era. The mustard and wild carrot pulling was all ext for they as many more farm children and villagers too, had help with the garden; seasonal fruit, housework and barnya chores. Somewhere Lucy •read that a mustard-infested field may seeded down, perhaps for 20 years before being cropped aga Mustard seed will live in the ground all that time, and germi in the broken land. To come back to the garden at "The Hut" after the excav tion for the basement, a different variety of lamb's qua and other weeds grew from seeds which had been under building for perhaps 75 years. , The soil is very light and sandy but it has been enric with the good old barnyard fertilizer as well as commercial p ducts. If nothing else thrives, Lucy lays claim to growing the weeds in the village. Where else would one find dandeli 18" - 24" in height around the borders of the vegetable gard Lucy couldn't help but :admire the big blooms in the late spri The foliage was luxuriant for tender early'greens both as sa and boiled. Some people enjoy the dandelion roots and oth fried blossom heads, All in all, it is perhaps the most versat weed in the matter of table menu. Docks in general give a good deal of trouble here.' One has get all the root out or it heals over and springs up'again fr the portion left in the ground. Foe over a year Carl has b trying systematically to' eradicate yellow docks and burdoc In the latter he could probably have supplied the maker Burdock's Blood Bitters with a sufficient supply for his m facturing. The latest perennial weed to appear in Carl's vegetable gard is camomile, Perhaps you've heard of camomile tea, It's a g tonic Lucy has read. But in the garden it is a pest. "Mr saved a few plants and laid them in the front porch to see the peculiar aroma would chase away the large black ants whi seem to frequent it. • Many of our Ontario and Catiadian weeds have come fro Europe. ,They heve-spreed.immaterlandeeind, in: bartieraieleilantir ,• in traneportatiqueor lieeetockabee ;mile-find:a by Apt; intutiel grain, hay and seed. Carl told Lucy that they never had blue weed on their far until after they'd purchased a cow from a certain area. It spre all over the river flats and they could do nothing about Then after a number of years it seemed to die out, And it w after sand was hauled with teams of horses and wagons from thei sand pit, that bindweed first appeared on their farm. Some have been, brought to this country by early settlers a a bit of herb or flower from homee It is said that an early English settler living on the Bayfie river near Clinton brought out a piece of English mint for hi garden and it spread probably by floods and birds, so that no it is a pest on the flat lands of the river and also up the tributa creeks. Many of our most beautiful flowers have been developed fro common weeds, native or imported, and visa versa. Lucy has seen the purple fox glove growing on the hills i Ireland, and our despised wild carrot is much treasured i English flower gardens as "Queen Anne's Lace", Mignonette is referred to by, William Cowper as "the fragra weed, The Frenchman's. Darling". An English• perennial aster is nothing more than a cultivat Michaelmas daisy which has become a weed here. Before "Mr.' sold his farms, Lucy had asked him to bring in the largest purpl specimen she ever saw and plant it in one of the borders. He alway had some excuse, hadn't a shovel with him or hadn't time, etc. the truth were known he was averse to spreading weeds. And ye she has never succeeded in growing anything so fine in,colou and size from nursery stock as that Michaelmas Daisy which gre as a weed near the implement shed door. Weeds may be classified as annuals which germinate, bloom fruit and die in one year-example- wild mustard. Winter annual which germinate late in summer or autumn, pass the winter a a seedling and complete the cycle by blooming fruiting and dyi next summer - chess and shepherd's purse, Biennials produc leaves and roots the first year, and flowers and seeds the secon year, after which they die. The wild carrot and evening primros are examples. Perennials, which last from year toyear, biome and seeding every year - there are two classes (a) those wit underground creeping stems such as the Canada Thistle (b those with roots which do not spread underground such a chicory, plantain and deck. • As Lucy contemplated the weeds at "The Hut" she decided that anyone collecting such, could secure almost' a full portfoli here for Ontario, with the exception of those growing in swam and marshlands. And as "Mr." remarked in reviewing theme "I don't suppose there are many Which haven't food or medicinal value did we but know it," ' Now that' Carl has the vegetable gardens fairly clean from Lambs quarter, chick weed, etc., the portulaca and crab grass, are poking up their heads. Then follow the pig weed and more grassee. In the flower beds the never-endittg battle seems chiefly to be with twitch grass. It is surprising how many seeds the birds have dropped at "The Hut". Some plants misplaced" lieve really nice blooms to attract the bees, Shakespeare frequently used "weed" in simile or Metaphor.
