Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Thistle: Its Introduction and Spread in California, With Laws and Measures for Its Control, With a Description of the Canada and Scotch Thistles This law, under the statutes, went into effect sixty days from date of signing, which was on May 20th. Since the imposition of these new duties upon the horticultural officers of the State, there have been numerous inquiries at this office as to how the Russian thistle may be recognized and what are to be considered as noxious weeds. The ques tion of what shall be considered noxious weeds, we suppose, will have to be left largely to the County Boards of Horticulture and the Boards of Supervisors, for weeds that are exceedingly noxious in some portions of the State can hardly be considered so in others; but in the matter of new weeds there can be no doubt, and this is particularly true of the Russian, the Canada, and the Scotch thistles, and especially so of the former, which has already obtained a foothold in several of our counties, but which has not as yet become so firmly established as to be beyond possibility of extirpation. From the fact that the Russian thistle is a new weed in our State, there exists a vast amount of ignorance concerning it. Owing to its name, which is an absurd misnomer, every species of thistle and many other weeds are mistaken for it, and from various sources we learn of its existence over the length and breadth of the State, but in most cases our informants are mistaken.
