PLANT ACCLIMATIZATION.
Failure of the Wateroressa—The Thistle
» in Australia—The Sweetbriar.
vegetable lifehave almost always been
due to sentiment. The useful plants
and trees have,’as a rule, flourished admirably, For “‘example, Mr. J. A.
Froude-states in his “Oceana” that the
oats, barley, peas, beans and potatoes
were produced in such luxuriance in
Ballarat that he could believe’ Herodotus” “account of the crops grown on the
plains of Babylon. A reaping machine
had stopped in a field of oats, the stems
of which stood up: like awall, and
seemed as if no horse could forcea
passage through -them, For seventeen
successive years the ground had been
cropped and. nota particle of manure
had been put upon it, The acranigeet .
point about it was that there were no
wees, and Mr. Froude offers. the rather
bold suggestion that “weeds -aré said toAlmost.the only failure in useful plants
has-been the watercress, Introduced
some years ago into New Zeland, it has
spread as rapidly as did the “American
weed” in our own country, choking up
the rivers and involving the annual outlay of many thousand pounds in keeping
the.rivers sufficiently clear for navigable
purposes, Otago and.Canterbury have
been severe sufferers front the watercress. Sentiment, however, has always
heen a deadly foe tothe colonist; for
example, some thirty years ago a Scotch
emigrant to Australia took. with him a
thistle in a flower pot. Great were the
esjoicings among the Scotch colonistsy a
dinner was given in in honor of the national plant, and it was then. carefully
transferred to the soil, Now it has
played the same part on land as” the
watercress in the rivérs, and haa rendered whole tracts Gt land tiseléss; “Tt
defies all attempg at extirpation and
great sums of mofiey are paid yearly in
restraining the once welcomed plant.
That the thistle would probably become
an injurious plant ought to have been
anticipated, and the very seeds should
have been prohibited as relentlessly as
we prohibitsthe Colorado beetle,
But who would have thought that the
sweetbriar could do any harm? At
home we are only too glad to have it in
our gardens, and a sweetbriar hedge is a
thing of joy and an object of justifiable
pride, No one, therefore, would blamed
the missionary and his wife who took
with them a plant of sweetbriar as a
fragrant memorial of their garden in the
old country, But when set in the fresh
rich soil of Australia that plant grew
with almost savage fury, It drove great
roots into the ground, developed itself
fromashrub into a tree, and spread
with such alarming rapidity that—it-is
quite as trotiblesome as thie thistle,
Tasmania, which is to the mainland
of Australia what the Isle of Wight is
‘to England, has suffered terribly from
the sweetbriar, New Zealand has fared
no better, Mr. Froude states that it is a
worse foe to the agriculturist than the
native fern, “At home so chary. of
growth, it expands there into vast
bushes, becomes a weed and spreads
like a weed. It overruns whole field in
two or three seasons, will turn a cleared
farm into an impenetrable thicket, and
has to be torn out with cart ropes and
teams of horses.” The reason for this
astonishing growth of the thistle and
sweetbriar js the same as that which accounts for the fecundity of the rabbit
and sparrow; The rich and fertile soil
affords the plants abundance of food,
and the native flora is 60 feeble that the
sturdy intruders have no rivals to check
their progress,—-Longman’s Magazine,
