    Herbs & Weeds 5.5.'38.
    There are some sour and harmful weeds which cattle will not eat. One of these is buttercups. Thistles are very harmful to land. Hocas is an herb which cures pains. The boltráns grow in green fields and buidheans grow in meadows. Wild celery and chicken weed grow among turnips. Ox tongues grow along banks. Moss grows in fields that have not been tilled for a long time.
