CYPESACEAE (SEDGE FAMILY) 71 Means of control Drainage of the ground, followed by clean, late-continued hoe- cultivation which will prevent seed production and gradually starve the underground growth. Hogs may be of assistance in the be- ginning in cleansing a badly infested plot. STRAW-COLORED CYPERUS Cyperus strigbsus, L. Native. Perennial. Propagates by seeds and by tubers. Time of bloom: July to Sep- tember. Seed-time: August to Octo- ber. Range: Maine to Ontario, Minnesota, and Nebraska, southward to Florida and Texas. Habitat: Damp meadows, swamps, and along streams. This plant is very variable, having dwarf varieties and others with globose heads; but in any form it is a weed, al- most worthless as forage, even when young. Ordinarily it grows one to three feet tall, the three-sided culms rather stout, tufted, rising from a cluster of hard, corm-like tubers. Leaves flat and soft, rough-edged, about a quarter- inch wide and equaling the stem in length; those forming the involucre are much longer than the rays of the umbel, which are simple or com- pound, their sheaths terminat- ing in two bristles; spikelets.
