Description
Excerpt from Principal Poisonous Plants of Canada
Perennials: Perennials are propagated both by seeds and by under ground rootstocks, bulbs, or tubers. The prevention of seed production is quite as important as the destruction of the underground portion of the plant, in many cases, more so, as the numerous light seeds borne to fresh soil will in time produce many more new plants than is possible by the division of the rootstocks. But in other cases, as for instance the water hemlocks, the portion in the soil is the most deadly, and any small piece uprooted and eaten by stock will result in death in a few minutes. Thus it is necessary for the extermination of the species and the safety of human beings as well as animals to destroy all portions Of poisonous perennials by the quickest means possible.
