. A manual of weeds : with descriptions of all the most pernicious and troublesome plants in the United States and Canada, their habits of growth and distribution, with methods of control . Weeds. CRASSULACEAE (.ORPINE FAMILY) 201 ish green, smooth, fleshy, alternate, sessile, hardly a quarter-inch long, crowded and. overlapping on the stalks. Flowers in small terminal cymes, bright golden yellow, each about a half-inch broad; calyx four- or five-lobed; petals four or five, distinct; stamens eight or ten. Follicles four or five, spreading, tipped with the persistent styles. Seeds reddish yellow, very small. Means of control the same as for Sedum stoloniferum. LIVE-FOREVER Shdum stoloniferum, Gmel. Introduced. Perennial. Propagates by seeds and by stolons. Time of bloom: June to July. Seed-time: August to September. Range: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine. Habitat: Fields and roadsides. An escape from the flower garden, very hard to suppress when established as a weed. Stems rather thick; spreading on all sides, taking root at the joints and sending up numerous flowering stalks, three to eight inches tall. Leaves opposite, obovate, small, thick, sessile, wedge-shaped at the base, the rounded tip finely scallop-toothed. Flowers in flat, crowded cymes, the blossoms pink, about a half-inch broad, the central and first- opened flowers usually having five pointed petals, most of the others but four. Seeds very small, in four or five pointed spreading follicles which are united at the base; not often produced, the plant spreading chiefly by its stoloniferous stems. (Fig. 143.) Means of control Careful hoe-cutting, skinning the patches from the ground and removing to the compost heap or the bonfire; for any bit of stem in contact with moist soil, if it contains a joint, will take root and continue to grow..
