Rural School Leai-let. 1093 "rji» > The gardener grows carrot seeds by- setting out in the spring carrots which were grown the previous year. After producing seeds the plant dies. This is the habit of the wild carrots also. They do not produce seed the first year. Con- sequently if they are cut off near the ground two or three times the second year, their life history is finished. Wild carrots do not spread from the roots like the thistle, but they produce a great number of seeds. These seeds have been known to live in the ground several years before growing. There- fore they must be re- %i peatedly pulled or cut off in order to keep the field free from them. They are not trouble- some in plowed land, but are common in old meadows. White Daisy.—This weed belongs to the class of plants called perennials, meaning plants which live more than two years. The roots are rather shallow « '^ and branching. It has the habit of spreading slightly by means of under- ground stems. The seeds of daisies are produced in flat-topped heads which closely resemble the sunflower head. There is a large number of them in each head. Daisies are common in pastures and meadows. Many meadows of our State which have not been recently plowed in the last weeks of June and the first ^ week m July, are white with their flowers. The weeds daisy. Fig. 40.—Wild carrot.
