The Harvester

CHAPTER VII
18/44

Where did you get them ?" "In my woods," said the Harvester.

"You see I grow several members of the viola pedata family, bird's foot, snake, and wood violet, and three of the odorata, English, marsh, and sweet, for our big drug houses.

They use the flowers in making delicate tests for acids and alkalies.
The entire plant, flower, seed, leaf, and root, goes into different remedies.

The beds seed themselves and spread, so I have more than I need for the chemists, and I sell a few.

I don't use the white and yellow in my business; I just grow them for their beauty.
