Abstract: Excerpts from p. 612 of the Experiment Station Record, Vol. XXVI, 1912: Following a discussion of the present production of volatile oils from wild plants native to the United States and their importance, this bulletin contains analyses of 3 heretofore unutilized plants, black sage (Ramona stachyoides) from California, wild sage (Artemisia frigida) from South Dakota, and swamp bay (Persea pubescens) from Florida. These plants are deemed of economic importance on account of the oils which they contain and the camphoraceous constituents which are contained in the oils themselves. Particular stress is laid upon the fields (medicine, arts, etc.) in which the above oils and their components may be used.
