To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wm. Turner in the sixteenth century, because, as he says, " the stalke waxeth throw the leaves " ; and the " small narrow-leaved cudweed, very much branched, and full of seed" (Filago gallica, L. ), one of the rarest of British plants, which it is satisfactory to notice still finds a home in the Essex cornfields. One more plant which frequents similar situations calls for notice. This is the corn bell-flower (Specularia hybrida, D. ), known among the older botanists as Venus's looking-glasse or... codded corn violet. It is a distinguished-looking little annual, some eight or ten inches in height, with dark-blue flowers. The writer has seen it in the sandy fields between Sandown and Shanklin in the Isle of Wight, but it is more frequently met with in the Eastern Counties. It is not uncommon in parts of Essex, and a few years ago it could always FLOWERS OF THE FIELD 83 be found at the right season on a farm near the pic- turesque village of Finchingfield.
But if weeds be a perennial nuisance to the farmer, they are no less a source of constant annoyance to the gardener.
