Asa student of our Island flora during

the past twenty~five years, l um much _pleased to note the interest which seems td have been awakened lately in the mutter ofiour wild plants and \\'ecds. Tile terrors of Rugwort seein to have kindled the interest now so evident und l mu' naturally muehhgratificrl to hear the wurning which I gave-in an article pub- lished in the Prince Y<Z\l\vurrl l_~°lund l\lug1i- zine six years ago, repeated so often and vehemently. At that time toufhrm .~erio\i:;-

ly, that Ragwort was the source of thi- Pictou' cattle disease was to excite in- credulity if not ridicule even on the part iof those who are now active in the cru- sade against the' pest. But my convic- tions thexi expressed are now declared to have been ive!! founded, for llr_ Ruth-

Ho‘vvever`,' some years ngo I began tn, uspect that the plant itself is out the prime cause of the trouble but that it is rathir the vehicle by which the trouble is tmrrsniitted. To be more exact-I sus-` ipcct that tl\e plant is the host of a flingus which does the damage. But this for future consideration.

If the Rslgwort never did any other

good beyond making the landscape gay ' with its showy Bowers, it has evidently ,been the means of awakening an interest on the subject of obnoxious weeds in this P letter by reading Rev. Father Burke's letter upon some other bad weeds, in your issue of the roll1inst_, in which he speaks of Cliicory us likely imported lately from Qucbeein hay. Very possibly this may have been the case in the instances which he cites. but chicory was anolrl. immi- grant. I remember seeing it twenty-live or thirty years ago in Orwell where it still
