Tagetes erecta Linn. 

 In a waste place near a roadside not far from Rockville Center, 

 where rubbish had evidently been dumped at one time. The Mari- 

 gold, as this species is known, is a common plant of old gardens in 

 America but appears to have become established but rarely in- this 

 latitude although perfectly hardy in cultivation. Our specimens 

 were single, possessing disc and ray flowers instead of the large 

 mass of crinkled rays common in the cultivated varieties, and bore 

 an abundance of good seeds. Numerous specimens in the immediate 

 vicinity seemed to indicate that the species w^as well established and 

 propagating itself by seed from year to year.
