The death of a little girl at Aylesbury, England from eating the leaves of hemlock, affords a reminder that this is perhaps the most poisonous of plants that grow wild in Britain. Fortunately there is nothing in it •to allure the young. It had no luscious-look-ing, black fruit like the deadly nightshade and though its fine-cut and dully burnished leaves have a great beauty to the artistic eye, they do not suggest that they are particularly good to eat. The hemlock may be known from others of its tribe, some of which are poisonous, while others—such as carrots, parsnips and parsley—are not by the purple red spots and blotches on its stem.
