Why Import Weeds?
• The suggestion that seeds of the
Flanders poppy should be imported
to Canada is carrying sentiment to
a dangerous extreme. The plant is,
after all, only a beautiful weed, a
conunon peat in France. It would be
wise to take thought and lea= from
a former experience of a similar na-
ture, The blaeweed, or Nampa Curse,
was imported several years ago, pre-
sumably for garden purposes
exclu-
suvely, bet it is itoev a noisome pest
In portions of eastern Canada. The
thought of the Plan:310re poppies
"over there" calls forth feelings of
national pride. Bringing them over
here will deetroy their sentimental
value for Canadians and will add
another to our already long list of
plant nuisances.
