DOGBANE FAMILY 



Nearly related to the Spreading Dogbane, not so 

 beautiful, but quite as obnoxious a weed. The dried 

 roots, however, are rated in the drug market at eight 

 to ten cents a pound; the inner bark yields a fine and 

 very strong fibre which tradition says the Indians used 

 for strings. The plant is a pest wherever it appears.
