Somewhat common as a roadside weed and in gardens, 

 where it is still cultivated for ornament. Flower. 



Vicia cracca, L. (Yetch.) 



Everywhere common along the roadside and in thickets. 

 It is extremely abundant in grass lands, where it 

 covers large areas, and has all the appearance of

 most striking. It is also found all along the shore 

 and is common on Cacouna Island. Flower.

 height of forty or fifty feet. The flowers are very

 Found somewhat sparingly in dry, rocky fields near Ca-
