Persistent Canada Thistle.

The cause Of the remarkable vitality
of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes it from other prickly
plants that are commonly mistaken for
it is the long cordlike perennial root.
This root penetrates the soil to depth
of eight to fifteen inches or more and
gives rise at frequent intervals to leafy
shoots. Thus it will often be found
that an entire patch of thistles is at
tached to one root and is in reality
but one plant. The root is exceedingly
hardy and can live over winter or
through prolonged drought in a dor
mant condition. Pieces of the root
that are broken off by plOw or cult
vator and carried to other places will
await a warm. moist period and then
begin TO send up leafy shoots, thus es-
tablishing a new patch forthwith. II
the leafy stems are cut down, others
will be sent up to take their place and
this process may be repeated from two'
to eight times before the root becomes
exhausted.
