1 these fruits (so-called seeds) are used in enormous quan- 
tities and can hardly be produced in excessive amounts. They 
are to be grown in drills, like grain, and similarly harvested. 
Their cultivation is old and extensive and they are to be regarded 
as staple farm crops. (Farmers’ Bull. 663: 20, 21, 23, and 24). 
Drug Plants the Cultivation of Which is Not Recommended 
The following drug plants, although readily grown, would 
probably be unprofitable, owing to the slight demand, to their 
great abundance as weeds with a consequent low price, or to 
some other factor. 
A’ , Nepeta Cataria L., is a very common weed, is not
