“Wherein some tales from the old herbals are related, with a brief account of the Indian, Quaker, and Shaker usages of beneficial plants. To which is added a short description of Catskill Mountain herb lore. Written and illustrated by Anita M. Smith, herbalist of Woodstock, New York, with a frontispiece by Maude and Miska Petersham.“ The title is taken from herbal literature of medieval times when scholars believed that barnacles were a kind of herb which grew on trees.
