Wheat-Thief.—This winter annual is also known as bastard alkanet, corn gromwell, redroot, pigeonweed. It grows to twelve inches high and has narrow rough hairy leaves. It bears a large number of inconspicuous whitish flowers in a leaf cluster in March and .April. The seeds are hard and stony, dark, one-tenth of an inch long, roughened, conical with a narrow base, and borne in fours in the axils of the leaves. The plant is very hard to destroy, without destroying the wheat crop, which may in some cases be advisable. It is probably less of a pest to the wheat than it is to the subsequent meadows. Badly infested fields should be put into cultivated crops. 144. Wild Mustard.—There are two mustards, black mustard (Brassica nigra, (L.) Koch) and wild mustard or charlock {B. sinapistrum I-) found growing in spring.
