NEW WEEDS SPREADS IN LAWNS
Foreign Plant Becomes Pest When II
is Planted in the Open.

A few years ago lawn pennywors
occurred as a greenhouse weed. 1t was
set in the open for use as a border
plant, where it became SO agrees
sive and spread so rapidly that 1t IL
now regarded as troublesome weed.
Unless il is eradicated when it first
appears in new localities it bids fair to
become one of the worst lawn weeds
in the east, say specialists of the
United States department of agTicul-
ture. To familiarize people with this
pest, the department has recently pub
fished department circular 1855 Lawn
Pennvwort: A new Weed" which de-
scribee il and discusses methods of its
eradication.
The plant was introduced from
southern Asia, and about 1890 florists
found it useful as border plant and
for fiat bedding purposes. Within a
short time after the plants were set
in the open it was found that they
grew rapidly in lawns, where they be-
came Objectionable. The species is
particularly undesirable on golf greens,
where the seed is readily spread when
they adhere to the shoes of the play
ers.
The weed not only damages the turf
but is also obnoxious because it some
times becomes infested with a fungus
which causes the diseased areas TO
become shiny and disagreeable. So re-
cent is the introduction of the weed
into the United States that it has no
generally accepted common name, but
because it is closely related to and
resembles species of water pennywort
specialists Of the department have
given it the name of lawn pennywort,
which seems appropriate.
Lawn pennywort is creeping peren-
nial which grows in dense patches. Tho
slender stems not only creep along the
surface of the soil, but also grow a
short distance below the soil surface.
The mass Of closely interviewer stems
enables the plant to live over winter.
The plant starts from seeds, which
are numerous, and also from the un-
derground stems II is not widely dis
tributed as vet, the specialists say, but
its range seems to be increasing rap
idly.
When the weed first appears the
patches should be dug out with spade
and the plants burned or otherwise de
stroyed, says the circular, II the re-
moved plants are simply cast aside.
they are likely TO mature seed in
short time, and these seeds may cause
a new infestation of the weed. Elk
periments to eradicate this weed by
spraying with solutions of common
salt, arsenic. iron sulphate, and gas
oline, have proven unsuccessful. These
sprays kill the leaves, but the creep
ing stems are only slightly harmed and
soon send out a new crop of leaves.
So closely does the plant trail 70
the ground that its leaves are not
harmed when the grass is being cut
with a lawn mower. Owners of lawns,
particularly in the regions in which
the weed is known to occur. should
be on the lookout for the plant and
should not allow IL to obtain a foot
hold. the specialists say, for proven
tive measures are far more effective
than control measures
