AMBROSIA, L. Ragweed. 

 A. artemisiaefolia, L. Ragweed. 



A common weed in waste places. Many people suppose its 

 pollen an effective cause of hay fever, and find relief on the 

 Island owing to the supposed absence of this plant. This 

 relief however, it seems, must be attributed to some other 

 cause, as the plant in question grows everywhere, — even on 

 the Cranberry Isles, — in more or less abundance, and is spread- 

 ing with the increasing settlement of the Island. 



RUDBECKIA, L. Cone Flower. 



R. hirta, L. Yellow Daisy. Black-eyed Sdsan. 



Naturalized in grass fields from the West. Very common 

 about Somesville and Bar Harbor, and more or less abundant 

 all over the Island. A fasti giate form, Seal Harbor (Redfield).
