WEEDS GROWING IN AMHERST.

W. J. BEAL.

THREE years ago I bought a little over an acre of land from the back
end of the Brigham Farm fronting on the north side of Amity Street.
Later Sunset Avenue was extended along the front on the east of the
lot referred to. I built a house and seeded to grass the east half and
occupied the house during the years 1913 and 1914.
In this time I have identified one hundred and nineteen species of
weeds growing in the lawn, and on extending my search for about a
block beyond this area I have added eleven others, making one hundred
and thirty in all.
