The most harmful weeds are the docking, the ben-weed and the thistle. They are harmful because they spread rapidly over the land. They grow everywhere. The sillogs are found in poor land. The Dandelion is used for making drinks. In springtime the nettles are boiled and are given to children for their blood. The people also eat water-cress, and I think it is very good for them.
