Corncockle which flowers from July to September is widely established as a weed of grain fields and waste places. In frequently it is cultivated as a gar den plant The seeds are difficult to separate from wheat seeds and may contaminate this product. The seeds are lethal to young poultry but older birds are less susceptible. Horses and other live stock are also affected. In animals that vomit freely (e.g. pigs), acute poisoning is less likely. Amaranthus species, common ly known as pigweed and redroot pigweed, although native to tropi cal America, grow in Pennsylva nia gardens, cultivated fields, pas tures, roadsides, waste places, and fields.

Dr. Susan Crane of the New Bolton Center’s Field Service adds another common summer poisoning although it is not exact ly a plant. Said Crane, ‘There is a fungus (Rhizoctonia legumini cola) that grows on clover in this area which produces a toxin (sla framine) that causes horses to sali vate profusely when they graze pastures which contain clover. There are no other problems caus ed by the toxin and the salivation stops when the horse is removed from the pasture. It is very com mon in this area and we get calls every year from people who don’t know what the problem is.” Individuals interested in more detailed information on poisonous plants can contact: • Pennsylvania State Book store, Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania, Department of General Ser vices, 1825 Stanley Drive, Harris burg, PA 17103.
