Black or Spear Thistle (Garduus lanceolatus Linn.). 



This plant is often known as Green thistle, but is usually confused with 

 the Scotch thistle, from which it differs in some measure. It attains a 

 height of 3 or 4 feet, and is very prickly ; the seeds are greyish, striped,, 

 smooth and shiny. The Spear thistle is a biennial, and is best controlled by 

 cutting the first year plants below the crown of the root and mowing or 

 cutting down second year plants before they seed. The seeds are light and 

 are blown about from infested to clean areas.
