PLANT LORE

wr-

fine use of various ‘ plants and herbs for medicinal and other our- poses is always an interesting study.

In the Western Isles, not so very long ago, many plants found a place in native pharmacy, but whether there was any good scion"fii. reason for their applica- tion is, in some cases, extremely doubtful.

The tcrlnentil. with its unobtru- sive yellow flower, grows profusely on the wind swept hillsides ,and the astringent and tanning properties of the mot were well known. An in- fusion made of the root. was applied as a salve to soft corns and minor akin abrosions, while in its latter Wipacity it was used in barking small fishing-nets. The burdock. the Inale variety, it is said, was considered a remedy for a more serious ailment glandular swellings. In this instance the root was again used, but applied in the form of a poultioe after it was partially toasted. ’

As a cure for dropz the root of Hie common yellow flag or iris was held. to be of some efficacy. A brew was made and consumed.

‘ It is common knowledge that the mp of the birch tree was distilled .111. making a. kind of drink before ‘ the days of malt whisky. ...In cottage industries, such as .wool-dsleing, vegetables dyes were, of course, extensively used, but the art seems to be now lost. As a mordant, for fixing the colour, the root of the common docken, in conjunction with crotal dye, still finds favour with the older genera- tion.—.A. J- M.

In many parts of Great Britain the favourite day for sowing seeds was Good Friday, for there was a treasured conviction that seeds sown on this day would grow as finely as those in the seeds/men's catalogues.
