Your weeds and your neighbor's : part 3 illustrated descriptive list of weeds . subdued by cut-ting out when in flower, should not be seen upon any mans peculiar inverted-beil-shaped fruit shown in our illustration willalways indentify this species. 29. FLOWEB-OF-AN-HOTJS. BLADDER KETMIA. (A.) Hibiscus trionum, last weed of the mallows has a deeply rooted tendency toinfest our gardens and cultivated fields, where its floral life is short,and its seeds are rapidly matured. The weed may be readily recog-nized by the great resemblance of its flowers to those of the Roseof Sharon of our door yards—they are, however, yellow with a pur-ple eye, instead of rose colored as in that shrub.

It isconsidered a bad weed in Cabell county. (194). I have noticedin many places in Monongalia, large patches of the dense growthof this species, greatly contracting the area of grass in weed may be recognized by its pink flowers resembling that de-picted above, by its rose-geranium-like leaves, and its peculiar seedpods also illustrated here. This seed pod is so formed that in burst-ing the seeds are thrown quite a distance compared with the size ofthe plant, therefore grub it out before the seeds are ripe, and throwit into the compost heap, and watch the spots the next season pr
