Foxglove has for some years been

in several European countries. 1t is a

reliable estimates Of yield do not ex-
coed 800 pounds dried leaves to the

Foxglove promises a fair return for
the cost Of growing. but any consider

would quickly overstock the market
The present drug requirement that the
leaves be only picked from plants of
two years growth at the commence

cost of production.
