**Assignment4: Wildcrafting**
Wildcrafting

The Luthers find plants or go wildcrafting to make money in //Where the Lillies Bloom//, a realistic novel by Bill and Vera Cleaver. For example, the Luthers read that Ginseng sells for thirty dollars a pound. Black Haw, //Viburnum prunifolium,// is used to relax the uterus. Black Haw has green berries and is found on rocky hillsides, thickets, woods, shores, and borders of streams. People should not use Black Haw if they are allergic to asprin. For example, Horse Nettle Berry, //S. Carolinense,// is used to treat coughs and Arthritis. Horse Nettle Berry has large yellow berries and is found in damp places, stream banks, and thickets. Contact dermatitis almost always happens from touching the plant, which produces a stinging rash. In the Luther family, wildcrafting is crucial. Wildcrafting was how the Luther family made all of their money.
