Caraway to Indian 

 Cucumber Root. 



Caraway. 



Carum Carm. 



The caraway has 

 found its way into 

 the fields and pastures from the 

 kitchen garden, and has really be- 

 come a very familiar wild flower 

 in many parts of the country. 

 It might possibly be mistaken for 

 wild carrot on account of the 

 similar gray-white flowers, but the 

 resemblance is too superficial to 

 deserve attention. My drawing 

 shows the superior delicacy of the 

 caraway flowers ; indeed, they are 

 as beautiful as some varieties of 

 Spwoea. The plant grows about 

 twenty inches high, and blooms 



Caraway.
