a great many attractive things have
danger for those who come In contact
with them Among those In the nat
ural world IL poison Ivy, which In the
fall LIN most sections is one of the
most brilliantly colored vines to be
found Many boys and girls and not
q few older people do not know the
vine, and word about It Is In place.
The most important distinctive fea-
ture about IL il that IL has three leaves
in a cluster instead of five, as I'm the
case of the well known Virginia creep
er, which, though to be found in wood
lots all over the country, is frequently
used as q porch climber. Another
mark or the poison ivy Is the cluster
OF numerous small whitish berries
which Ii bears, not at all like the pur-
pie berries Of the Virginia creeper.
In spite of its name the poison ivy
does very little climbing, but rather
sprawls and, as 4 rule, Is short vine,
making comparatively slight growth
tn a single season. IL cannot stand
cultivation ana hence is most often
found along river courses, I'm pasture
