Many weeds are very beautiful and
would be gazed at with intense pleasure
in a conservatory. A wild morning
glory is more delicate in color than a
tame one and nothing is more refined
and attractive than a thistle blossom.
But the wild morning glory alienates the
love OF the farmer by blooming in his
cOrn6eld instead of his front ward and
the thistle holds mass meetings in the
pastures instead of growing shyly and
spr rsely in kitchen gardens.
Some weeds are tall and homely and
some are squat and hOmely while still
others are tinted like the dawn. But
they all have one characteristic. They
are hardy and lohg-lived. Frost has no
more effect on them than on a politician.
