exhaust the list. This. is the James
town or 'jimson" weed. 1t is Il large,
SNOWY plant and seems to delight in
waste places and old, neglected gardens.
1t has stout stems, large, rough leaves,
and very pretty though strong-sccnted
blossoms, tubular i'll shape and white,
shading into pale purple or yellow in
color. The seed vessels are very large
and priclily. Cultivated varieties of
jamestown are very handsome. They
may be seen in all their elegance in
ornamental grounds orat Georges Hill
III the Philadelphia Park.
10 the above might be added "sour
grass" or sorrcl. as this contains oXalic
acid, and as children are fond of eating
it. But this will only prove hurtful
when eaten in large. quantities, rs tho
proportion of acid contained in the
leaves and stems sepewltelyi very small.
Peach leaves are mole to he dreaded, as
they contain prussic acid, and in greater
amount,
The safe plants arc usually those re-
Sembling, in general characteristics,
roses, lilies, daisies, mint, honeysuckles.
hlcklcberrics, beans, pinks, morning
gloricS, cabbage blossoms, evening prim-
roscs'and violcts. Doubtful or iniuri-
Gus ones often resemble buttcrc,lps, pop
pies, potatoes, foX-gloves and parsnips
though some of our most beautiful and
valuable plants belong to these same
orders. But the principal exceptions
have been pointed out above.
