MOUNTAIN MINT 
(Pycnanthemum pilosum) 
Blooms heavily for a long period, beginning mid-sum- 
mer and very attractive to the bees. The unusual 
amount of bloom per plant and very pronounced minty 
flavor make it desirable for gardens. It is an abundant 
source of nectar and reported as a source of surplus 
honey in some localities where 
sufficiently plentiful. It is 
native to some of the hilly 
wooded areas of the middle- 
west and has merits which 
have too long been overlooked. 
Of most importance may be 
the commercial aspects of this 
plant. Tests indicate that a 
very much heavier yield of oil 
ean be distilled from this plant 
as compared to most yields 
obtained from other mints now 
in commercial production. Ex- 
periments are being continued 
in an effort to determine more fully the commercial 
value.
