Dangerous Growths Are a
Source of Great Peril to
Man and Beast.
AT this time of tho year It behooves
every one who Uvea or sojourns
J a In ,tho country to be on the
alert for poisonous plants. Dis
ease and death lurk In some of the
most attractive vegetation In the -wilds
an even 'in some of the llowcrs so
carefully coaxed to perfection In gar
dens throughout the land.
A stroll through the woods may bring
one into contact with a deadly nlant
tho veryiproxlmlty of which suffices to
produce a life long affliction. A tempt
ing and palatable dish of vegetables
may kill, as is attested by tho annual
records of persons iwlsonod by mush
rooms. And, In addition to these dan
gers to human health nnd life, there Is
a vast yearly loss of live stock, either
destroyed or made useless by eating
poisonous weeds, flowers and fruits.
There is hardly a section of tho Unit
ed States that Is froo from dangerous
vegetable growth of some kind, and,
unfortunately, complete lists and de
scriptions of all tho poisonous plants
aro not yet available. A lot of tho most
deadly, however, have boon classified
and their effects and characteristics
carefully observed.
Tho various species of water hemlock

Poison ivy is a clinging or trailing

nnd greenish flowers, appearing in May

fruit often remains on the plant until

semble those of tho box elder. They
differ from those of U10 Virginia creep
