average plant may produce from 10 000 to 20 000 seeds it ls a deep rooted freely branch ing persistent perennial weed the root is very long thick and much branched a good sized plant will hafle a root over three feet long at the top of which is a crown bearing buds shoots and branched flowering stems the plant grows from one to two feet high often forming large clumps toe leaves are smooth and in pairs flow ers are white nearly an inch across and borne in loose clusters which are often drooping the calyx or flower cup ls much inflated and ball shaped it ls from tm6lnnated calyx that the plant draws its name the main object in eradicating this weed should be to prevent seeding and to get on the land as soon as possible after the crop ls removed purchase clover and grass seed free from
