and is always full of bees. It is quite ornamental. It is 
of easy culture and apparently a good plant for natural- 
izing along roadsides and in waste places. Perennial.

MARJORAM 
(Origanum vulgare) 
Marjoram is a European plant, cultivated in gardens 
and naturalizes readily under right conditions in this 
country. It is a favorite of the honey bee and in a few 
localities in eastern states has become sufficiently com- 
mon to enable the bees to secure considerable fine qual- 
ity honey from it. The plant is perennial and grows 
about two feet tall. Prefers limestone soils. It blooms 
for several weeks beginning in midsummer,

uralized, in fence corners and unused gardens. Peren- 
nial, blooming over a long period and never failing to 
attract the bees. This is one of the best honey plants 
for naturalizing in waste places.

long lived and well suited to naturalizing on unused 
lands. Like others of the group it is usually swarming 
with bees when in bloom.
