this week by q gentleman, a farmer, bring
Ing from the Old Town square thistle who
is growing there In profusion, and whie
was said to be a Canada thistle. 1t was fina
" brought to the Intelligencer office, whel
comparison of the descriptions of thistles

tien that we have, and the only one whie
fully describes the Canada thistle, proved II
one in question to be only the Bull thistle,
thistle that is common TO this locality, al
that is easily eradlcated. 1t is a tai, vigoro'
plant, the flower bolls being an inch in dian
eter, and the flowers being q bright purpl
while the Canada thistle only grows to Of
half its height, the bolls being only one-h'
an inch in diameter, and the flowers being
very pale lilac. Any thistle, however,

measures to have those on that square e.
terminated was very wise.
