' HE chicory one of the many plants that have come to us from Europe. The number of these waifs that find, first a footing, then a home and often a kiiifrdom Oii our shores, is always increasing. Some are not unwelcome guests, but the greater part are our most troublesome and most persistent weeds. The rapidity with which sucli European plants as the common thistle, the dog-fennel, the pigweed and the purslane drive tnit onr native plants and take of fielils and waysides, would indicate that they have .some advantage over ours in the struggle for existence. vSuch is indeed the The old world plants are favored because they leave their insect or otlier enemies behind them, when they crass the ocean. Ours have always their wonted drawbacks to contend with while engaged in an unetiual fight with the invaders. Thus the chicory has made itself a familiar object in waste places and at roadsides, often proving itself a most undesirable addition to our flora. It is well naturalized in northern districts, but is yet rare in the Soutli.
