One of my prize possessions is a book published by the Department of
Agriculture in Canada called "Farm Weeds" (1909)... It is replete with 76
full page water color illustration plates of "weeds" such as: Yellow Dock,
Sheep Sorrel, Chickweed, Nettle, Burdock, Evening Primrose... One farmer's
weeds are another gardener's herbs...
