ELLOW GOAT’S BEARD (Tragopogon pratensis).—Meadow salsify is 
another name for this weed immigrant which is now quite widely and 
firmly established throughout most of the northeastern quarter of the United 
States and eastern Canada, in meadows, along roadsides, in pastures and 
waste places. The plant may be either a biennial or a short-lived perennial. 
Its grasslike leaves and oversized flower head and seed globe, resembling 
dandelions, are very characteristic. All parts of the plant when cut exude a 
white sap. It is a pest in wild upland meadows and in cultivated perennial 
meadows. Its full characteristics of being a weed are not fully known. 
Spread is chiefly by wind, the large hairy parachute of each seed being able 
to carry it long distances. Since it grows mainly in grass-lands, control is 
not a matter of tillage, but one of rogueing the meadows, when the plants first 
begin to bloom. Badly infested land should be broken up and put under | 
cultivation.
