<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;"> In the realistic fiction novel, Where the Lilies Bloom, by Bill and Vera Cleaver, the Luther family learns a lot about wildcrafting and how it can be

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">profitable and <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; line-height: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">helpful as it is the gathering of medical herbs for profit. First of all, catnip (Nepeta Cataria) is one of the many flowers in the

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">novel. It is <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">about 12-24 inches tall, their <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">leaves are stalked, ovate; and strongly toothed, and they bloom from June to

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">September. They are also whitish, purple-dotted; and have calyx soft-hairs. They live in much of Eastern/Central U.S. It’s folk

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">remedies are used for colds, diarrhea, fevers, chicken pox, headaches, and other sicknesses. Finally, Sumac (Rhus Copallinum) or

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">winged sumac is another wildcrafting plant. It <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">is a small tree or shrub, 7 meters (23 feet) tall, seldom exceeds 3 meters, leaves are alternate, possibly 60

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">centimeters in length (24 inches). Usually divided with 9 to 11 leaflets. They are yellow-green, blooms appear in mid

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 16px;">while they were wildcrafting.
