...weed out the killer vegetation? One nursery, Bailey's, based in Newport, Minn., has turned to the lab. One of the country's largest wholesale chains, Bailey's has partnered with scientists at the University of Minnesota and the University of Georgia to design hybrid plants that would eventually take the place of invasive species.

...honorary tribal name of Nantaquoud. He even offered Smith some nearby land. Smith instead returned to Jamestown, where his adversaries charged him with negligence in the death of two of his men killed by Indians. Smith was sentenced, again, to be hanged. Hours before he was to swing, Newport arrived up the James River with fresh settlers and supplies, intervening once more to spare Smith from the noose...
