When young, the crisp, succulent shoots make an excellent "dish of greens, " cooked like asparagus. (Fig. 221. ) Stem stout, two to five feet tall, softly downy when young but growing smooth with age, erect, and usually simple. Leaves ar- ranged in opposing pairs on alter- nate sides of the stalk, oblong to elliptic, smooth above, finely downy below, entire, the nerves extend- ing from the strong midrib uniting themselves by a bordering thread before reaching the margin ; peti- oles stout, very... short. Umbels terminal and lateral, dense, the flowers dull purple to pinkish, fragrant. Follicles three or four inches long, downy, and covered with soft, spinous projections. Seeds very many, brown, flat, their tufts of fine silken hair long and thick. Should they fall on water, Milkweed seeds can float, as well as fly, for each has a corky margin which makes of it a raft. FIG. 221. Common Milkweed (Asdepias syriaca). X \.
