  1. The dock leaf is a very harmful weed. It is the most harmful weed growing in our farm at home. The briar-wort and nettle are also a harmful weeds. The dock leaf grows very tall and a bunch of seeds comes up on top of it and when a wind comes it blows the seeds and spreads them. The dock leaf grows in every kind of land. The burr-wort grows in meadows and the nettle grows in every kind of land.
