Pr.ckly Lettuce.
HISTORY.

This plant is one of the most vigorous
weeds that has ever appeared in our
State. During the past few years it has
spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Soon after the close of the war of the
rebellion this weed was introduced 10
this country from Europe and was first
observed growing in waste places near
Cambridge, Mass. Travelling rapidly
westward it reached Ohio in 1873. In
1882 it was noticed in Detroit, reaching
Owosso in 1887 and Grand Rapids the
next year.
During the past SIX years this weed
has spread throughout the whole State
and now from its strongholds in the
waste places about our cities and viii
lagos it is invading farming commune
ties.
Prickly Lettuce is the wild parent Of
our cultivated lettuce and in its native
land has never shown any of the vicious
tendencies it is now exhibiting in the
land of its adoption. Here it seems TO
want the earth, and it has evidently
come to stay. From numerous inquiries
lately received by the station in regard
to this plant, it seems that possibly
many people fear that this weed is the
dreaded Russian Thistle. However, there
is no record that this western pest, which
is in no respect like Prickly Lettuce, has
ever been seen east of Lake Michigan.
DESCRIPTION.
Prickly Lettuce is an annual plant
from two to live feet high with numer-
Gus slender branches towards the upper
part of the stiff, solid stem which when
broken or cut pours out milky juice.
The blush green leaves have a row of
prickles or bristles on the under side
along the mid-iib and by a twist near
the base, assume vertical position by
which the plant may be easily recog-
nized. Flowers are yellow in small
heads generally appearing late in July
producing from twelve to twenty Hat,
brown-black, ridged seeds, having para
chute-like attachments by which the
wind is able to carry them a long
distance.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1894-08-31
REMEDY.

Cut the plants close to the ground early
in July before the blossoms appear.
New branches will Immediately spring
up from the cut stems so that repeated
cuttings must be made later in the
season.
1t is not probable that this pest will
ever prove troublesome in meadows or
in well titled fields, but in all waste
places, especially in vacant lots in cities
and villages, it will become a continual
ly increasing nuisance unless speedily
stamped out.
