The Latest Noxious Weed The Dominion Seed Branch an- nounces the Iatest upeious weed seed to .appear in Canada, namely, the hoary peppergrass, and in- co-opera- tion with provincial Departments of Agriculture is pursuing investigations as to its source and the prevention of its attaining wide -spread distribu- tion. The seed of this peppergrass was discovered last winter by the Do- minion*. Seed Branch Laboratory at Toronto in one or two samples of On- tario -grown clover seed. It is not new to North America, as it is dis- tributed from coast to coast in the United States. It is also prevalent in New Zealand. The plant is perennial with cord-like root stalks which make it very difficult to eradicate. Casual observers might confuse it with field peppergrass which is fairly common in some of the clover . growing areas in Western Ontario, but field pepper - at destination, or quite' frequently on grass is biennial and therefore much the premises of farmers who have. less ,objectionable.
