POISONOUS FLOWERS.

1t seems shame to connect thoughts OF
poison with, for instance, such delicate
and lovely things as that baby of the
flowers, the snOwdrop, as the narcissus,
with its delicious breath, as the hyaonth
aud the ionquil, says the Engineering
Magazine. But one is Obliged to see to it
thpt the children do not put the bulbs of
these flowers into their mouths The on
ais also is not safe thing to put between
the lips and all the Iobelas will produce
dizziness and general disaster The monk
hood, too, and the beautiful foxglove, as
well, are noNiOus affairs, from which pow
erful drugs are obtained, more than few
drops o! their extracts being usually fatal
dose Certain of the crocuses, il eaten,
even If nothing be swallowed hut the Juice,
produce yOmiting the bulb of the in
tricately beautiful lady's slipper poisons
externally as the noXious Ivy, dogwood
and sumac do; the quaint iack-in- she
pulpit, although not garden plant, is an
also, IL the marvellous Queen Anne's lace,
which now and then will creep il through
the ptliug, and looks SO enchanting when
far and wide it emhroiders field ana road
side. The laughing little buttercup, that
might lie drop Of visible sunlight, is by
no means as innocent as 1t looks; the COW
in the pasture knows enough to avoid It;
that and all its cousins, the rich, proEusl
peouies, tbs dazzlingly blue larkspurs aud
the rest, Gre full of toxic properties. The
oleander tree, that is set out of doors when
spring comes and thac line the streets OF
various Of our southern cities, is another
hive of deadly poison. The superb catalpa
tree, towering with its great leaves and ite
mass Of white and fragrant flowers, is a
charming thing in the garden, but its bark
is exceedingly injurious; and the laburnum,
that looks like fountain of gold leaping
iuto the sun, and even the grass beneath
it, is best thrown away instead of being
fed to cattle when cut.
