SEA CABBAGE 



each bearing a showy panicled spike of brilliant yellow flowers. 

 The lower leaves are lyrate, the terminal lobe round; the lateral 

 lobes in one to four pairs; the upper leaves obovate, cut-toothed 

 at the base. Apparently introduced, but really indigenous from 

 Lake Superior, northward and westward. It is biennial, which 

 is always an objection to a cultivated plant; but it is capable of 

 producing admirable color effects in mass. 



Great Spider Plant, Clebme pungens, is a robust, strong-scented 

 annual, producing tall spikes of rose-pink flowers, with six long, 

 purple, antennae-like stamens and four clawed petals, the whole 

 giving a certain spidery aspect to the flower. The plant is weedy 

 in looks and also in its ability to take possession of a garden. It is 

 not a crucifer but belongs to the closely allied family of Cappari- 

 dacece.
