Daisy, Ox-Eye

Chrysanthemum leu can the mum. Common white-flowered plant of the Composite family, native of Europe, abundantly introduced as a pernicious weed into N. America; known also as White Daisy and White-weed. It is troublesome in meadows, particularly those that are thinly seeded and infertile. When cut early and made into hay, it is readily eaten by cattle and is fairly nutritious. It is an annual and seeds abundantly, but in fertile and well cultivated land the gra es and clovers will crowd it out. Its presence is a sign of worn soil and carele culture.
