Abstract
TO define a weed is not an easy matter since this term of opprobrium is applied in different ways by different persons. Probably the best definition is that of a plant growing where we do not want it. Nevertheless to many the designation implies a certain measure of uncontrollability, and it is more particularly these weeds, which are the bane of the farmer and the gardener, that concern us here.
