This is our most common pasture thistle, characterized by its I ^Jffife narrow green leaves, sweet purple flowers, JijJl and stems rendered very prickly by the continuances of the bases of the leaves down them. This species grows from two to four feet high and bears heads about an inch in diameter. It infests roadsides, meadows, and pasture lands from whence it may be readily removed by cutting it off below the crown of the root. The plant contains the large percentage of nitrogen, and potash, and will thus pay largely for the little trouble it takes to kill it, if properly composted after cutting. A tea of the root is recommended for rheumatism (88), and neuralgia (249).. 106. Virginia Thistle. (B).
