POISONOUS PLANTS
AND SEEDS

Don’t let the children eat

E. Sery
Tt pays to push an armful of

straw under each bush to shade
the soil and keep the fruit up

Sweet pea seeds (wild or’tame) |off the ground, but otherwise

or lupin. Both conttain poisons

which at least can make any-
one eating them extremely un-
comfortable, Vetch is harmless,

) but it resembles lupin, common
hereabouts, which is poisonous

if eaten.

Now that the laburnums have
finished flowering, the seed
pods are hanging in clusters,
and these are of temptation
to young children who may|and lowest truss of blossoms
think they are edible peas, but
are very poisonous if eaten.

Both the seeds and bark are
poisonous.

Many plants are poisonous
only when eaten, and it may
be the root, bark, seed, leaf or
kernel of the fruit that is the
Poisonous part’ Among such
Plants the Hemlock, Deadly
Nightshade, Fool's Parsley, Fox-
glove, White Bryony, Monks
hood and Thorn Apple are all
very poisonous, The roots of
Monkshead, much. like Horse-
radish in appearance, almost
always prove fatal to the eator.
The poison is aconitine.

Less serious are plants that
poison by contact, and the best
known is the ‘Stinging Netze,
but its effects soon pass away,
although very irritating while |
it lasts. There are lots of them
in’ this district, and it is well
to warn the children to avoid
coming in contact wtih them.

There is also the Poison Ivy
and Poison Oak, both of wh
are said to be very poison
on contact. As far as I n
ascertain these two are one and
the same thing, for they come
under the botanical name of
Rhus Toxicodendron, which is
a hardy climber with gi
yellow ltave
the Poison
Sumach, growing
is another Poi

pore fervicss’ palsoncus plants
to come across,

ume to mention them all.
BUSH TOMATOES

Bush, or dtterminate, type of
tomatoes require no pruning.
Jn fact, if the side’ shoots are
all removed you woud get no
fruit. Bounty, Early Chatham,
Earlypak and Rhode Island are
Some of the varieties of this
type.

For the greatest weight of
erop simply let the bush go its {
own way and grow naturally. }

it needs little attention.

However, for my money, I
prefer to grow the staking var-
+ jieties, for, trained*to one stem
and staked, there is no ques-
tion about getting a better crop.
T have described the method
of pruning these before, but
today I want to speak about
the importance of that first
cluster of bossoms. This first

is notoriously difficult to set.
Usually the florets will dry up
and drop off, leaving no little
green tomatoes behind.
If we cannot get some ripe
fruit from this lowest truss, it
will be 10 days to. two weeks
later before we can get’ some
ripe fruit. With our cool cli-
mate and slow ripening the
period for pickling ripe toma-
toes is too short and there is
always the danger of inclem-
ent weather and early frost to
prevent further ripening

So I think it is no use leay
}ine things to chance, but to
|make sure that these first blos-
some will make tomatoes by
)spraying them with a hormone
fruit-setting chemical sold un-
der such names as Fruitone,

Blossom-Set, Seedless-Set and
TomatoSet. Don't spray too
soon, but wait until all the

flowers in the cluster are wide
Apply the spray to the
lowers only, not to the leaves.
Very little does the trick, and
it is best to apply the spray
in a very fine mist, using an
old perfume atomizer, or a nas-|
al spray, or one of those mod
ern squeeze bottles
