GUEST Continued from Page 1 When asked, Mark Benscoter, of Penn State Seed in Forty Fort, paged through a thick book to identify the plant. He said, based on the construction of the leaves, it looks like a Common Ground- sel, known to grow about a half foot to one and a half feet tall. “If rooted in the right condi- tions, like a flower bed with well- fertilized soil, it could grow con- siderably taller,” Benscoter said. Albert's green thumb and nu- merous flower beds boasting of Chinese lanterns, various peren- nials and raspberry bushes could have created a perfect niche for this ambitious weed. After retiring as an Eastern sales territory manager for the ma- sonite division of International Pa- per Company, Albert has found great satisfaction in maintaining and designing his landscaped backyard. “My whole life is in maintaining my yard,” he said. Weather permitting, he can eas- ily spend four hours a day, six days a week, maintaining his flower beds. | When he saw the giant weed, Albert said his first feelings were of disappointment of not returning from Florida early enough to “I don’t want to embarrass the neighborhood by having an un- kept yard,” he said. CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Bert (Bertram) Albert attempts to measure this beanstalk -like weed that has grown up the side of his house in Dallas.
