Janet, you said the pesticide was in the leaves and something to the

Marigolds are old stand-bys for that kind of thing, the smellier, the

Second response in this thread.

Ann, Janet said the pesticidal properties were in the leaves of the

pyrethrum, but the mum and the pesticide is in the flowers not stems
of foliage.
