Canada and Bull Thistle The Canada thistle is a noxious plant that we cannot afford to let grow. It is sometimes con­ fused with other plants the prin­ cipal one being the bull thistle. As the treatment for these two plants is different it is essential that we know which one of these plants is being dealt with. The following points of difference should be noted: The head of the bull thistle is larger and of a different shape from that of the Canada thistle. The bull thistle is a biennial plant and does not possess the creeping roots so characteristic of the Canada thistle; hence the bull thistle plants usually occur isolated ip the field, w hereas the Canada thistles grow typically in patches. The leaves of the bull thistle are larger and thicker than those of the Canada thistle. The main stem of the bull thistle possesses a tuft of roots close to the ground, which is not true of the Canada thistle. The mature plant of the bull thistle is larger and darker green in color than the mature plant of the Canada thistle. The main stem is heavier than that of the Canada thistle. Whenever there is doubt about the identity of the plant, speci­ mens should be sent to the State agricultural experiment station or at present they may be sent to the Estacada High school agricultural department.
