Your weeds and your neighbor's : part 3 illustrated descriptive list of weeds . Apple Family. 6. Papaw. (P.) [Asimina triloba (Z.,) Dunal.~) This well known shrub, or small tree, with edible fruit, oftenbecomes a veritable nuisance in pasture lots and meadows, thoughin some localities its sprouting is not so profuse as in others. Likethe sumach, it can only be eradicated by thorough grubbing. Barberry Family. 7. May-apple. Mandrake. (P.) (Podophyllum peltatum, L.) No description is needed of this common plant which can beproperly called a weed only in some localities. In many damp orwoodland meadows it often, however, grows so profuse as to greatlycontract the grass area. The use of the hoe, will kill it out in a fewseasons. The medical action of the root seems to]be expended almost en-tirely upon the alimentary tract ; it is, therefore, used for generaltorpidity of the liver (21, 78, 204), and as a purgative (35, 139,213, 225). The extensive use of the root as a component of ca-thartic pills, causes it to be dug for profit at many points in the State. 2ig POPPY. FAMCLY. 8. Field Poppy. Corn Poppy. (A.) (Papaver dubiwn, L.)This pretty red poppy, which bears a general resemblance to thepoppies of the gardens, and is illustrated above; is rapidly spread-ing in Jefferson, Berkeley (117), and Morgan counties, where atleast, it threatens to become a troublesome weed. The plants shouldbe pulled up before they ripen their immense numbar of seeds, andburned with other trash. 9. HORN POPPY. (A.) (Glaucium luteum, Scop.) This peculiar plant, with saffron-colored milky juice, whitish-green stem and leaves, yellow flowers, and stem prickly below nearthe ground ; has been sent in to me as a weed likely to becometroublesome in Monongalia (10) and Harrison counties. It should,however, yield readily if the plants are treated as mentioned underthe preceding species.
