(Mrs. Fuller and her husband, a citrus grower, lived along the St. Johns River in the area of Palatka. Mrs. Fuller brought the hyacinth home and placed it in her fish pond, The New York Times reported in 1964. When the plant choked her pond, she thinned out the plants and placed the extras at her boat landing on the St. John’s River. Two hundred miles of the St. John’s River was soon rendered unnavigable.)Collection
