Few Americans realize how completely our American meadow plants came along with us from the Old World. In our June meadows, timothy, redtop, Old World grasses all three, are starred with Old World daisies, yarrow, buttercup and hawkweeds. The clovers too, alsike and red and Dutch, all came from the Old World. Only the black-eyed Susans are indigenous. An informed botanist viewing such a June meadow may sometimes find it hard to point out a single species of plant which grew here in pre-Columbian times. - E. Anderson
