Mullen Stalks for Funerals.

The mullen has had many uses. The Romans dipped the stalk into tallow and used it as funeral torch. In the middle ages it was used as candle wick by many people. It is reputed to have medicinal virtues for both man and beast, smoking dry mullen leaves and drinking mullen tea being resorted to by those having colds. It won, in England, by reason of it's rep utation as healer of cattle diseases, the name of "bullock's lungwort."
