132 MAINE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 



Orange Hawkweed. {Hieracium anrantiacum.) Reported 

 from several new localities. 



King-Devil Weed. {Hieracinni prcraltnm.) Reported from 

 Albion, Vassalboro, Exeter Mills, Carmel and Litchfield. Mr. 

 H. K. Morrell writes as follows : "We found three patches of 

 this pest in the bog woods of Litchfield and pulled it all up. The 

 field formerly owned by Bartlett and Dennis in West Gardiner, 

 where it is said to have first made its appearance, is as yellow 

 as gold over the most of it. In a few days the seed will be 

 ripe enough to fly by the wind. The State should take charge of 

 such fields." In the vicinity of Riverside, on the east side of the 

 Kennebec, this pest occurs on several farms. Exeter Mills 

 where it has been found this season by j\Ir. Josiah Eastman is in 

 Penobscot county, a long distance from other locations. Mr. 

 Roy H. Harvey collected specimens in July on the farm of Mr. 

 McLaughlin, two miles east of Carmel village. The locality is 

 fifteen miles west of Bangor. Mr. Morrell's observations show 

 the plant will grow in Maine outside of the fields. 



Yellow Goat's Beard. (Tragopogon pratensis.) Not a 

 common weed in Maine, but Mr. H. E. Cook of Vassalboro says : 

 "There were thousands in an old field that I have recently come 

 into possession of." 



Yellow Daisy. Cone Flower. (Rudbeckia hirta.) This 

 weed is abundant in Maine and is increasing. We found the 

 seed of it in Timothy seed samples examined this season. 



Clover Dodder. {Cuscuta epithyinnin.) Seems to be on 

 the increase. The bunches of the parasite should be cut, dried 

 and burned. It seems to grow most in second crop clover. 



Ground Cherry. {Physalis Virginiana.) Reported, but 

 not a common weed in Maine. Apparently not found in the 

 eastern part of the State. 



Water Horehound. {Lycopus Americanus.) A common 

 weed in low fields and grass lands. 



Hemp Nettle. {Galeopsis Tetrahit.) A bad weed in gar- 

 dens, and rich soil in fields. Abundant in Maine. 



English Plantain. {Plantago lanceolata.) The seeds of 

 this, also dooryard plantain and aristate plantain were found 

 abundantly in seed examined this season.
