T.. G. Blake. the well known jeweler,
has brought into our office a running
rootstock of the common milkweed
which is more than six feet long. Mr..
Blake does this not merely to exhibit
curiosity but also to call attention
to the troublesome character of this
plant particularly in sandy soils. its
favorite abiding place. The plant. as
will be seen, tends to spread after the
manner Of witch grass by it's far
reaching rootstocks. 1T also sends its
plumed seeds far and wide and when
once they terminate again the long
rootstocks begin to run IN all direc-
tons, DISCRIMINATING all other plant
life for a large space around. Mr..
Blake thinks all who discover a plant
of this species on their land should
make it duty TO exterminate It,
