The Field Madder. A native of Europe and temperate Asia. Is a small annual, not very plentiful, and not likely to be troublesome. Introduced with foreign seed. Galium Afarine, L. The Goose grass, Cleavers, or Robin-run-over-the- Hedge. A native of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It is much more obnoxious, and hris probably reached this State in impure seed, and with fodder. It is an annual, with weak, straggling stems, climbing by means of th^ roughened edges, bearing rings of six to eight leaves, wi...th clusters of two, three, or more of small white flowers, forming paired burr-like piickly fruits, each half of the fruit with one seed. The plant is a troublesome weed in com crops on light soils, and also in gardens. The preparation of a fine tilth encourages seed in the soil to germinate, and then harrowing, discing, or shallow ploughing destroys the seedlings. Special care should be taken to avoid the use of impure seed, or of manure containing the seeds of the plant. Although the' seeds do not appear to have a very prolonged vitality, they are able to resist the action of fermenting manure for some months without losing the power of germination.
