The weeds farmers burned were worth money to the drug trade, and Alice Henkel named them. Her concise government guide covers collecting and curing roots, barks, leaves, flowers, and seeds, then explains how to sell the harvest. A companion piece to her root drug studies, aimed at anyone with a fencerow and patience. Proof that one era's nuisance is another's crop.
