The death Of valuable cattle from
eating wild cherry leaves in New
Hampshire has led to Investigations
which show that while the wild red
cherry and horse plum are harmless,
the dwarf cherry should be viewed
with suspicion. and the wild black
cherry and choke cherry are danger
Gus. The common impression that
only wilted leaves are harmful was not
verified. Both wilted and fresh leaves
were found to be poisonous and dried
leaves not beyond distrust. Vigorous,
succulent leaves from young shoots
the ones most likely to be eaten by cat
ele-are far more poisonous than the
leaves Of q mature tree or stunted
shrub. To sum up the facts in the
most forcible terms. the farmer who
permits these trees to flourish is sim
ply cultivating r-assic acid in his own
pasture.
