"Thirty Poisonous Plants ~

Send to the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington. ID. c., for free
pamphlet entitled "Thirty Poisonous
Plants" Every one who loves to
roam in fields and forest should know
the poisonous plants. 1t Is very for
tunate for those who are fond of ram
bling through the fields and woods
that most of the plants in that gov
eminent list are poisonous only when
eaten. Nearly all cases of skin poison
ing are from poison ivy or poison
sumac.
1t will doubtless surprise many who
read this pamphlet of Thirty Poison
Gus Plants" to learn that the lady's
slippers or moccasin flowers are in
cluded in the list. A poisonous oil sim
liar to that of poison ivy Is secreted
in the leaf hairs. especially at the
fruiting season. The leaves and flow
ers Of the ily-of-the-valley are also
poisonous when taken internally. The
taste, however. Is very bitter, so no
one is likely to eat them.
The beautiful mountain laurel Is so
often eaten by sheep, resulting in their
death. that the farmer calls it sheen
laurel, or poison laurel.-St. Nicholas.
