    These are some of the weeds that grow in good land :- The white and red vlover, the dandelion and the thisle. Clover is very healthy for cattle. There is a cure in dandelion for warts. The people used squeeze the juice out of the stem of the dandelion on warts, and it used cure them.
    In bad lands rushes and sedge grow. There is also a bery good cure for pains in the ribbon-grass.
